MicroEra Power EPRI IEL THERMAplus Demonstration 23 1108
CEO Ellie Rusling's video from the Electric Power Research Institute's IEL 2023 Demo Day, in Vancouver, BC. Thermal Energy storage is more efficient, more durable, and safer than batteries. MicroEra Power's tunable system has 10X the energy density compared to hot/chilled water. Unlike conventional phase change materials, we can tune the melting point, so that we can store at optimal temperature: summer vs. winter, humid vs. dry, and shift electricity consumption from expensive/fossil-intensive peak times, to off-peak/renewable intensive periods.
