Test facility for heat storage concepts
By incorporating thermal energy storage, solar thermal power plants are able to provide electricity as required, even at night-time and during periods of low sunlight. DLR researchers use the 10-kilowatt test facility to examine heat storage at temperatures ranging up to 400 degrees Celsius. The storage container can be operated with different storage mediums based on salt to develop latent heat storage, and molten salt storage.
