Thermal storage, heat exchanger & steam generator in one
The bGen unit is charged from different renewable sources: electrical, such as PV, wind, or grid at off-peak; Thermal sources such as biomass, flue-gas, heat recovery, or any combination of these inputs. This energy is captured using electrical heaters and gas pipings which runs through the storage modules and transfer its heat to the storage media at high temperature of up to 750°c. In parallel or hours later, steam is discharged to meet customer’s demand
Electrical charging
Electricity from renewable energy sources such as PV, Wind Turbine or directly from a grid, when electricity tariffs are low, are being used to charge the bGen.
The electrical input is converted to high temperature heat using embedded electrical heaters in the storage modules.
No gases or emissions are produced in this process.
Either Simultaneously or in different times, water is flowing through the separated discharging piping cycle, and steam is delivered to the customer on demand. The system is designed to maintain constant steam conditions through the discharge phase. Having two independent cycles inside the unit enables full control and flexibility for the charging and discharging conditions in regarding to timing, flow, and temperatures.
