Novel steam turbines
A steam turbine is a mechanical device that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work. They work by using the pressure of steam to turn a turbine blade, which is connected to a shaft that can be used to perform work and in our case used in conjunction with our thermal energy storage system.
They are also relatively simple and reliable, which makes them a popular choice in many different industries. They can help smooth out the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.

How is it different?
The modular construction of our turbines allows us to significantly lower the cost
Key benefits
- Simple and fast constructio
- Substantially lower O&M costs
- Can be synchronised directly to the grid
- No need for Inverter-rectifiers, step-up transformers and grid inverters associated with PV solar
