Magaldi Thermal Energy Storage
arrow_backTil oversigtenBased on fluidized sand bed technology, MGTES (Magaldi Green Thermal Energy Storage) stores thermal energy from renewable sources or directly from the grid when electricity prices are low - and dispatches it when needed.
The integration of MGTES makes it possible to optimize the industrial energy profile by acting on key levers:
• OPEX Protection (Hedging) – Stabilizing energy costs over the medium to long term, protecting against price spikes in fossil fuel markets.
• Energy Arbitrage and Load Shifting – Charging the system during low-price hours, typically when renewable generation is available, and providing continuous 24/7 steam release for industrial processes.
• Process Decarbonization (Power-to-Heat) – Significantly reducing the carbon footprint by replacing fossil fuels with renewable electricity to produce medium- to high-temperature process heat.
• Demand-Side Management – Transforming the industrial site from a passive consumer into an active load manager, optimizing consumption profiles and increasing resilience against grid constraints.
• Grid Services and Grid Stability – Enabling the provision of ancillary services for the stability of the power system, turning the storage asset into a potential source of additional revenue.
