The Polar Night Energy Sand Battery. It's an innovative new energy storage system.Imagine a giant sandbox that keeps your entire town toasty warm in the winter. That's the genius idea behind a new sand battery being built in Finland! This isn't your childhood sandbox, though. This high-tech battery uses extra electricity to heat up sand, which can then be used to warm homes and buildings when the temperature drops.This giant sand battery packs 1 MW of power and a capacity of up to 100 MWh of thermal energy for use during the cold winter months. It’s like a big silo of sand that’s warmed up through a heat exchanger buried in the centre, using excess electricity from the grid. The thermal energy storage medium will be crushed soapstone.It's like a giant thermal blanket keeping everyone cozy. Not only that, but this sandy solution is expected to slash carbon dioxide emissions by almost 70%! So next time you're feeling chilly, think about the power of a hot sand hug! ... See MoreSee Less
