When there is a surplus of electricity from wind or solar, the energy storage system is charged. This is done by compressing heat energy from one or more storage tanks filled with cool stones to corresponding storage tanks filled with hot stones. The passage discusses the method of energy storage using GridScale's technology.

These findings imply that basalt and granite are the best candidates for geothermal energy storage based on thermal conductivity, while limestone is better for heat retention. The heat transfer rate from the stones to the surrounding medium is critical for efficient steam generation.
These results suggest that granite is the most effective stone for steam generation and turbine power output. The thermal efficiency of the geothermal energy extraction system is critical for evaluating the overall performance of the stones in converting stored heat into mechanical energy for electricity generation.
“Basalt is a cheap and sustainable material that can store large amounts of energy in small spaces and that can withstand countless charges and discharges of the storage facility,” said Andel's scientist, Ole Alm. When built, the system will be connected to a wind power plant and will become Denmark's largest storage facility.
A breakthrough opportunity lies in the geothermal and piezoelectric characteristics of stones. Despite their abundance and inherent energy-harnessing potential, these properties remain underutilized. Stones such as basalt and quartz, abundant in nature, have revealed potential for energy storage and generation 6.
