Q: Malta’s solution lies in thermo-electric energy storage. Why is this system so innovative, and what are its main keys? A: It combines well-established thermodynamic principles with modern technological advancements to create a cost-effective, scalable, and efficient energy storage solution.
Christian Bruch, President and CEO of Siemens Energy, said, “ Malta’s innovative thermoelectric energy storage system offers a flexible, cost-effective and scalable solution for the storage of energy over long periods of time. With our support, Malta is well positioned to be the first company to commercialize such a solution globally.
Malta’s system also achieves a power-to-power charge/discharge round-trip efficiency (RTE) of up to 60%, which is about 50% higher than other thermal storage systems without heat pump charging.
A: A Malta storage unit can be charged and discharged 100% in unlimited cycles without degradation of the storage media. As the main storage medium, Malta has selected a natural thermo-solar salt sourced by solar evaporation (e.g., in the Atacama Desert of Chile).
