Battery systems that store energy efficiently and respond to energy demands.
By utilizing NETenergy’s thermal battery to store cold energy, building owners can save on their energy usage and reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, this technology can save utilities from spending billions of dollars per year building and maintaining “peaker” power plants that are only used a few times per year.
NETenergy is receiving assistance with laboratory testing to validate performance and optimization based on temperatures, coolant types, flow rates, pressures, thermal profiles and specifications. NREL’s experts and facilities are assisting with system integration, design and control of NETenergy’s thermal battery to existing building AC systems in an effort to install a full-scale system in a commercial building.
