Called Economic Long-Duration Electricity Storage by Using Low-Cost Thermal Energy Storage and High-Efficiency Power Cycle (ENDURING), it uses electricity from surplus solar or wind to heat silica sand. Particles are fed through electric resistive heating elements to heat them to 1,200 degrees Celsius, and then gravity-feed them into insulated concrete silos for thermal energy storage. This baseline system is designed to store up to 26,000 MWh of thermal energy. Its modular design and storage capacity can also be scaled up or down with ease. When energy is needed, the hot particles are fed through a heat exchanger, which then heats and pressurizes a working gas inside to drive the machinery and spin the generators to create electricity for the grid. The system then discharges when there is limited solar photovoltaic or wind power available, such as in the early morning or evening.
