ARENA EXPRESSION OF INTEREST ACTIVITY PLAN The Challenges to an Emissions Free Grid

Community expectations, corporate ESG standards and government policy settings have set us on the path to decarbonisation. Here is the challenge...

  • Renewables generation numbers - ~20% of NEM load
  • ~35% of generation capacity
  • ~2.4 million solar PV systems delivering ~10.7GW
  • Factors slowing continued penetration of renewables:
  • Operational and regulatory challenges associated with intermittency
  • Low marginal value of despatch
  • Most coal fired generators are within the final 7-15 years of end of technical life and solutions to replace loss of inertia and dispatchability remain illusive

Scalable Long Duration Energy Storage

The only thermal storage technology designed to drive utility scale steam turbine generators. With an operating temperature range of 670° Celsius to more than 2,000° Celsius our TES cells are uniquely capable of restoring baseload generation and critical inertia to grid networks.

ARENA EXPRESSION OF INTEREST ACTIVITY PLAN Key Technical Features

Simplicity of the Thermal Cycle

  • a flake graphite based thermal storage media and heat transfer fluid that undergo no phase change
  • conventional heat transfer with water to produce superheated steam
  • variable steam delivery up to the thermal power plant's nameplate rate

ARENA EXPRESSION OF INTEREST ACTIVITY PLAN Key Technical Features

Superior Operational Control Superior Operational Control

  • charging of TES cells is agnostic of power supply – any available power supply can be used to heat TES cells
  • charging and discharging of TES cells can occur simultaneously
  • no limit on number of annual/monthly/daily cycles
  • seamless inertia and dispatchability

ARENA EXPRESSION OF INTEREST ACTIVITY PLAN Economics and Sustainable Performance

  • joint venture with Quantum Graphite Limited guarantees reliable supply of flake graphite free of the significant challenges associated with the increasing demand for this critical mineral and the more immediate global supply chain constraints
  • negligible environmental footprint with every component recyclable at very low-cost utilising convention technologies
  • safe operating environment, no requirement for complex safety systems
  • round trip efficiency limited only by efficiency of prevailing turbine technology
  • capable of supplying needs of sub critical, super critical and ultra-super critical turbines
  • very long life, many times that of electric batteries
  • unrivalled TES cell scalability, doubling storage hours is a fraction of the cost of comparable scaling of electric batteries
