5th Internation Workshop on Carnot Batteries
Energy storage is THE challenge for our society. Integrating intermittent power sources from renewable energies into the future energy infrastructure requires storage capacities in the gigawatt hour range. The 5th International Workshop on Carnot Batteries (IWCB) will bring together energy storage experts to discuss research and demonstration projects in the field of thermal energy storage with a focus on Carnot batteries. Further information will be available here shortly.
International Workshop on Carnot Batteries
Carnot batteries are a developing technology for cost-effective and location-independent storage of electric energy at a gigawatt-hour scale. Also known as Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage (PTES), Pumped Heat Electricity Storage (PHES), or Electro-Thermal Energy Storage (ETES), a Carnot Battery converts electricity into heat, stores the heat in low-cost storage media such as water or molten salt, and converts the heat back to electricity when needed.
