The project will focus on the investigation of how energy from renewable sources can be input, stored and extracted from a material at extremely high temperatures. This becomes increasingly important with the accelerated adoption of renewable energy sources as significant contributors to the electrical grid. Renewable sources such as wind and solar produce an output which has significant temporal and spatial variation and thus there is a requirement for some mechanism to match supply with demand.High thermal losses at high temperatures have restricted the development of large scale thermal energy storage devices. This project will, therefore, seek to develop techniques which manage the high radiative heat losses in order to realise an ultra-high temperature thermal energy storage solution with higher energy density than conventional methods. This comes with the benefit of mitigating some of the issues with current grid-scale storage concepts: the use of rare materials, limited deployment locations and cycle degradation.The project may consider the development of a suitable containment vessel, thermal loss management system and the operation of a commercial system for varied conditions.

该项目将重点研究如何在极高温度下从材料中输入、储存和提取可再生能源的能量。随着可再生能源作为电网的重要贡献者的加速采用，这变得越来越重要。风能和太阳能等可再生能源的输出具有显著的时间和空间变化，因此需要某种机制来匹配供给与需求，高温下的高热损失限制了大规模热能存储装置的发展。因此，该项目将寻求开发管理高辐射热损失的技术，以实现比传统方法具有更高能量密度的超高温热能存储解决方案。这带来的好处是缓解了当前电网规模存储概念的一些问题：使用稀有材料，有限的部署位置和循环退化。该项目可能会考虑开发合适的安全壳，热损失管理系统以及在各种条件下运行商业系统。
