“Heat storage in molten salt”
German Aerospace Centre
The German Aerospace Centre (DLR) began construction on a new single-tank test facility for thermal energy storage in molten salt (TESIS). “Energy storage is key for the energy supply of the future,” writes DLR in an article. “The research at the DLR is aimed at further developing molten salt technology. The goal is to lower costs and increase efficiency.” Molten salt is a non-toxic, non-flammable liquid that can easily be transported through pumps, used to store large quantities of energy, for example in solar thermal power plants, writes DLR.
