Duke Energy, Malta to study converting coal plant for long-duration storage


Dive Brief:
Thermal energy storage firm Malta Inc. and utility Duke Energy will partner on a study of the viability and benefits of converting retiring coal units to long-duration energy storage systems using Malta s pumped heat technology. 
Malta s pumped heat storage technology captures energy directly from a power plant or grid and stores it as heat in molten salt or as cold in a solution similar to antifreeze. That energy can then be used to power a heat engine to send electricity back to the grid. 
The year-long study, backed by the U.S. Department of Energy, will include a conceptual engineering study to see how the Malta technology could be integrated at one of six retiring coal plants in North Carolina, followed by a technology plan for a specific site. The study will also look at the socioeconomic benefits of the installation, including job retention, local economic impacts and environmental benefits. ....
