“In theory, this is the linchpin to enabling renewable energy to power the entire grid.” MIT engineers have designed a system that would store renewable energy in the form of molten, white-hot silicon, and could potentially deliver that energy to the grid on demand.
A novel system has been created that allows the storage energy in molten silicon which is the most abundant element in Earth's crust.
The new MIT storage concept taps renewable energy to produce heat, which is then stored as white-hot molten silicon. The U.S. researchers have dubbed the technology Thermal Energy Grid Storage – Multi-Junction Photovoltaics. The technology uses two large 10-meter wide graphite tanks, which are heavily insulated and filled with liquid silicon.
They initially proposed a liquid metal and eventually settled on silicon — the most abundant metal on Earth, which can withstand incredibly high temperatures of over 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Last year, the team developed a pump that could withstand such blistering heat, and could conceivably pump liquid silicon through a renewable storage system.
Silicon has unique properties that confer the ability to store more than 1 MWh of energy in a cubic meter, ten times more than using salts. Molten silicon is thermally isolated from its environment until such energy is demanded, when this occurs, the heat stored is converted into electricity.
