In a small Finnish town with a big climate goal, an unassuming tower of sand is quietly storing solar and wind energy all while making a powerful statement about clean tech innovation.
A new industrial-scale 'sand battery' has been announced for Finland, which packs 1 MW of power and a capacity of up to 100 MWh of thermal energy for use during those cold polar winters. The new battery will be about 10 times bigger than a pilot plant that’s been running since 2022.
In a chilly place like Finland, that means feeding it into the local district heating system, which shares heat produced from industry or energy production through the community. Networks of pipes carry this heat as hot water or steam to warm up houses, buildings, even swimming pools.
Ville Kivioja, lead scientist at Polar Night Energy, tells the BBC that the Finnish battery stores 8 megawatt hours of thermal energy when full, and discharges about 200 kilowatts of power through the pipes, enough for 100 homes and the public pool. “There’s no wear and tear involved with the [heat exchange] pipes and the sand,” he says.
It’s quite a simple structure to begin with, Polar Night Energy said of its prototype. A tall tower is filled with low-grade sand and charged up with the heat from excess solar and wind electricity.
Swedish public utility Vattenfall is also building a 200MW-rated thermal energy storage in Berlin. The heat storage tank can hold 56 million litres of water, which will be heated to 98C to warm homes. The tank will take two months to fill and the system will begin commercial operations in April 2023.
