Startup company operating in Finland Polar Night Energyan industrial scale thermal energy storage is building the system. This will have a capacity of 100 hours sand based The thermal energy storage system will use crushed soapstone, a fireplace manufacturer’s byproduct, as a storage medium.

It will meet your heating needs for 1 month.

This is innovative 1 MW The system will provide thermal energy to the district heating network. When it starts working at full capacity, 100 MWh’a kadar will be able to store thermal energy; This means that the heating need for approximately one month in summer and one week in winter can be met. sand battery, It will function as an energy storage that provides high power and capacity by storing excess wind and solar energy as heat in the sand.

The inside of the sand battery is the total amount obtained from the production of heat-retaining fireplaces. 2,000 tons of crushed soapstone It will be filled with . Tommi Eronen, CEO of Polar Night Energy, stated that they are pleased to support circular economy principles by using Tulikivi’s production waste in this project and stated that they have high expectations for the performance of soapstone.

It will be integrated into the district heating network of Loviisan Lämpö in the Finnish municipality of Pornainen. Charging operations will be provided from the electrical grid using charging algorithms developed by Polar Night Energy, thus minimizing the electricity cost required for charging.

The next phase of the project will include various installation works. Testing of the sand battery is planned to begin in the winter months and become operational in 2025. Polar Night Energy commissioned the world’s first commercial sand-based high temperature heat storage system with a power of 100 kW and a capacity of 8 MWh in 2022.
