What We Do
Under contract with the United States Department of Energy, TES increases the value proposition for power-generating plants, provides operational flexibility and capacity to a power utility. A utility-scale CSP plant with TES can generate and dispatch electricity when it wants and not just when the sun shines.
However, for TES to be widely adopted, the capital costs of the TES system must be lowered.
Terrafore has developed innovative TES technologies that can potentially reduce the cost of storing thermal energy by over 50% when compared with the current practice of storing thermal energy as sensible heat in molten salts using hot and cold containers.
