bGen™ high-temperature thermal energy storage
(TES) is a patented and award-winning technology,
enabling to store heat in crushed volcanic rocks
as storage media.
The bGen is charged electrically from renewables
or grid electricity using embedded electrical
heaters that heats the storage media to 750°c.
On the discharging cycle water is circulated and
boiled inside the TES, enabling full control of
discharging conditions in regards to flow and
temperature.
The bGen thermal storage allows decoupling
of charging and discharging process, allowing
simultaneous or separated processes.
