The Issue
Project Innovation
A 10 MWh RedoxBlox thermochemical energy storage system will be installed on the University of California San Diego medical campus. The thermochemical storage system will discharge to a 100-kW turbogenerator to provide more than 24 hours of electrical output. The 200-kW waste heat exiting the turbine will enter an adsorption chiller to provide chilled water to the medical campus. The combined heat and power long-duration energy storage solution makes optimal utilization of the available stored energy. The thermochemical energy storage/CHP system will be demonstrated for at least 12 months during the project duration. The system will be left in place to serve the
UCSD medical campus at project completion.
