Storing energy as heat isn’t a new idea—steelmakers have been capturing waste heat and using it to reduce fuel demand for nearly 200 years. But a changing grid and advancing technology have ratcheted up interest in the field.
Being smart about heat storage Like batteries in smartphones and electric vehicles, modern heat batteries use smart algorithms to optimise energy use. Demand prediction algorithms analyse historic patterns and weather forecasts to determine accurate heat requirements.
Heat batteries can help balance the grid by completely decoupling energy consumption from heat demand – recharging only when demand is at its lowest, and releasing heat only when this is actually needed. In addition, they constantly monitor grid frequency and can stop charging in response to frequency drops.
Comment: With many homes still reliant on fossil fuel heating systems, Johan du Plessis, CEO of Tepeo, a British clean tech company, looks at how smart heat batteries will help accelerate the transition to low-carbon heat while keeping the electricity grid in balance.
By continuing to optimise product design and smart capabilities, heat batteries will be critical to the UK’s transition to net zero. This technology can bring low-carbon heating to homes while helping ease pressure on the grid.
Highly flexible technologies such as heat batteries can complement heat pumps in two ways. They can be deployed in houses unsuitable for heat pumps, making decarbonised heating accessible to all, and they can ease pressure on the grid by shifting energy demand away from peak times.
