How can E2s power repurpose coal-fired plants?

E2S Power’s Solution to repurposing coal-fired plants by turning these into energy storage systems. While the boiler is replaced with the thermal storage module, all other plant components can be fully reutilized. At E2S Power, we’re developing a storage solution which in time can convert existing coal-fired plants into thermal batteries.

Why does Iran have a low storage capacity?

In terms of storage, the low installed capacities can be explained by the fact that Iran has a high availability of RE sources, particularly wind energy, solar PV and hydropower, which can produce electricity all-year-round (Fig. 6). The total storage capacities soar from 9.7 TWh in the country-wide scenario to 110.9 TWh in the integrated scenario.

What is the main energy resource in Iran?

Natural gas has been the main energy resource in Iran so far with a share of 60% of total primary energy consumption in 2013, following by oil with 38%, hydropower with 1–2%, and a marginal contribution of coal, biomass and waste, nuclear power and non-hydro renewables (BP Group 2014; EIA 2015).

Which energy sources are least exploited in Iran?

Modern biomass, waste-to-energy and geothermal power production are the least exploited energy sources in Iran. However, waste-to-energy projects will become more important. The installed RE capacity in Iran can be seen in Table 2. Table 2 Installed RE capacity in Iran (MW)

What is Iran's energy policy?

Recently, the Iranian government has focused on RE use in different economic sectors (SUNA 2016a) and Iran’s energy policy has changed from one dominated by oil to a diverse energy supply with more sustainable resources (Helio International 2006), as well as nuclear power.

Can a coal-fired plant be converted into a thermal battery?

At E2S Power, we’re developing a storage solution which in time can convert existing coal-fired plants into thermal batteries. This not only allows reusing existing infrastructure ” it also helps to protect local employment, which is a point of major political concern in many regions worldwide.
