The HVBatCycle research consortium a partnership of industrial and scientific communities has the goal of keeping cathode metals, electrolyte and graphite permanently in a closed material cycle (closed loop). Under the leadership of the Volkswagen Group, TANIOBIS GmbH, J. Schmalz GmbH and Viscom AG are working together with researchers from RWTH Aachen.

With high-temperature technologies, electrothermal network storage systems are possible, with which large amounts of energy from renewable sources can be buffered. In the joint project LIMELISA, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) are developing the necessary fundamentals together with the industrial partner KSB. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy is funding research with 3.8 million euros.
In Germany, wind farms and solar systems generate thousands of gigawatt hours of electricity every year, which cannot be used at the moment it is generated and is limited. At other times, missing capacities are replaced with energy from fossil sources. Part of the solution could be large electrothermal storage systems that contribute to grid stability. The basic idea is to convert electricity into heat, to buffer this heat in comparatively inexpensive storage systems and to convert it back into electricity if necessary. “By
