The First Step: Order a Feasibility Study

We will inspect and evaluate your energy systems and processes. The goal of the feasibility study is to investigate how a high temperature heat storage would operate as part of your energy system and how low energy prices could be achieved with a storage solution.

We will determine optimal design for a heat storage solution to satisfy your heating requirements and find out whether a heat storage solution would be the best solution to fulfill them.

We will also give you insight and suggestions to improve your energy systems and processes for better efficiencies and less total energy consumption.

The price of the study is 12 000 € (VAT 0 %).

Requirements for the Client: 

  • Description of the system,

  • Data of own electricity production (if exists) and

  • Consumption data for heating energy.

hi-temp Heat Storages

Storing period from hours to months. Ideal when aimed for energy self-containment, and combined with on-site solar and/or wind power plant.

PNE_Solutions_Peak_Power_Heating_Plants.jpg

Peak Power Heating Plants

Use heat storage as a reserve or peak power heating plant for example in a district heating network. Capacity and heating power are tailored according to the network requirements.

PNE_Solutions_Carbon_Neutral_District_Heating.jpg

Carbon Neutral District Heating

Heat storages provide flexibility to a heating network and enables widespread increase of solar and wind power as efficient energy sources for district heating.

 
PNE_Solutions_Process_Heat_Production_for_Industries.jpg

Process Heat Production for Industries

Acquire electricity through your own renewables production, from electricity grid balancing market or from the lowest prices of the hourly energy market. Generate high-temperature process steam or use the stored heat directly in a high-temperature industrial process.

PNE_Solutions_Industrial_Waste_Heat_Recovery.jpg

Industrial Waste Heat Recovery

Recover waste heat from high-temperature waste heat streams and return them to the process. Benefit from the temporal adjustment enabled by the heat storage.

Hot sand. Interested?

With PNE heat storage, you can store electricity when it is abundant and it has lower value, and use the stored energy as heat later on. Our high-temperature storage technology enables long storing time and a wide scale of potential applications.

Electricity to be converted to heat and stored for later use can be from your own sources, or bought from the grid. In every case, it is useful, sustainable and profitable to sever the temporal dependency on production and consumption.

Polar Night Energy heat storages can be connected to most heat transfer systems and are compatible with heat pumps. The system can produce hot water for water-circulating systems, or hot air and process steam for industrial use.

We offer

  • Flexible operation

  • Robust design

  • Sustainable construction

  • Low investment cost per energy storage capacity

  • Minimal running costs
