What is the exergy cold energy plant (CEP)?

The Exergy Cold Energy Plant (CEP) is an efficient patented system based on ORC technology which regasifies liquefied natural gas and converts the heat absorbed from sea water into electricity by recovering the valuable exergy content of LNG.

What is exergy cold energy plant?

Exergy Cold Energy Plant is a patented system, based on ORC technology, which regasifies liquefied natural gas and converts heat into electricity.

What is cold thermal energy storage (CTEs)?

Cold thermal energy storage (CTES) is a technology that relies on storing thermal energy at a time of low demand for refrigeration and then using this energy at peak hours to help reduce the electricity consumption of the refrigeration system.

Is thermal energy storage technology ready for the cold and hot side?

Innovative energy concepts for creating a plant with a low carbon footprint were planned, where thermal energy storage technology was indicated as one important factor to reach the targets, both on the cold and hot side of the processing plant. The challenge was that a suitable technology was not yet ready for the cold side.

How do energy storage plants augment electrical grids?

Many individual energy storage plants augment electrical grids by capturing excess electrical energy during periods of low demand and storing it in other forms until needed on an electrical grid. The energy is later converted back to its electrical form and returned to the grid as needed.

How will a pumped storage power plant contribute to the energy transition?

The company is making a significant contribution to the energy transition and is continuing its corporate transformation towards more renewable energy generation. By storing energy, the pumped storage power plant will contribute to greater security of supply in southern Germany.
