System for direct electrical charging and storage of thermal energy for power plants

摘要: System for storage of electricity in the form thermal energy, and release energy during times demand. The system includes a unit containing at least one electrically conducting phase change material electrical circuitry driving current through to heat into molten state, or heater used convert stored material. Structure is provided transferring working fluid such as steam gas generation turbine turbine, capable generating supercritical fluids. also conversion device. A suitable elemental silicon an aluminum-silicon alloy.
