Not clear what that even means. “The total specific cost of the thermal storage materials, including storage tanks, insulation, etc. is expected to be less than 10 EUR per kWh for serial production systems. In comparison, conventional battery storage systems typically have storage capacity costs in the range of 200 EUR per kWh.”
In comparison, conventional battery storage systems typically have storage capacity costs in the range of 200 EUR per kWh.” What one gets directly out of a charged battery is direct current electricity. It's electricity ready to go into an inverter to push AC electricity onto the grid.
If you store for 10 weeks, then you are getting just 5 stock turns a year, or 1/73rd of the earning potential of a daily requirement.. Store the excess energy by making synthetic fossil fuels that will be burned in all the requisite “green energy” backup fossil fuel generators. Of course when the synthetics run out, burn fossil fuels.
Because maximum generation can occur at both high and low demand, surpluses are much less certain and also highly variable. That tends to stretch storage projects beyond viability when attempting anything more than short term output smoothing and grid stabilisation..
