minus-squareTobberone@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoInteresting! Is the idea to use excess electricity to heat the sand and then reproduce power via Steam turbine? Any idea how the heat is extracted ? I’ve heard of a similar plant, but that used mirrors to heat up the sand directly, rather than using it as a way to use excess electricity. Same idea, different material is thermal storage in sand.
