Indeed, in 2023, more than 20% of the electrical energy generated by solar plants went unused due to insufficient transmission infrastructure and\/or lack of energy storage systems. <\/p>\n<p>This situation usually occurs when there is a mismatch between the supply of solar power and the energy demand: radiation is received during sunshine hours with variable intensity, whereas electrical demand peaks after sunset. On the other hand, the demand for heat in most industrial settings follows a relatively constant profile 24\/7. In this context, thermal storage systems may become crucial components to ensure a continuous supply of energy and provide stability to the electrical grid and heat supply for industrial processes.  <\/p>\n<p>To tackle this issue, Professor Jos\u00e9 Miguel Cardemil and his team are focusing their efforts on the development of innovative methods to capture, store, and utilize solar heat. Their main goal is to implement storage technologies that are more cost-effective, sustainable, and scalable compared to those traditionally available. In this quest, they studied the properties of copper slag, a byproduct of the copper smelting process. This material, highly abundant and cost-effective in Chile, possesses three properties that make it an excellent candidate for heat storage: high thermal conductivity, stability at high temperatures, and high energy density.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ef2bff e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1ef2bff\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;tilt&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M0,6V0h1000v100L0,6z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a95a4de elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a95a4de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-divulga.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Almacenamiento-de-energia-solar-cardemil.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3624\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev-divulga.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Almacenamiento-de-energia-solar-cardemil.jpg 850w, https:\/\/dev-divulga.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Almacenamiento-de-energia-solar-cardemil-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev-divulga.ing.uc.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Almacenamiento-de-energia-solar-cardemil-768x579.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40bad20 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"40bad20\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fff0cb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fff0cb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The copper industry in Chile generates more than 40,000 tons of copper slag per day.

The tank&#8217;s design distributes the flow radially, from the center of the tank to the outer layers, creating a self-insulating effect. By concentrating the higher temperature particles in the center of the tank, the outer wall of the storage is in contact with the lower temperature region of the filler material, reducing thermal losses by 70% compared to other thermal storage systems.<\/p>\n<p>The system can operate using different heat transfer fluids but has been primarily tested with air, which can be heated through solar collectors or electric resistances powered by renewable energy. Thus, when hot air passes through the copper slag, it raises its temperature, storing the heat. To recover and utilize this heat, the flow is reversed by injecting low-temperature air, which is heated as it passes through the slag and can then be supplied to industrial processes.

Professor Cardemil and his team built three tanks in the laboratory and conducted tests at temperatures ranging from 50\u00b0C to 700\u00baC. They found that this technology allows stable operation at higher temperatures compared to other alternatives (700\u00b0C versus 565\u00baC for molten salts), thus making the energy conversion process more efficient. It was also shown to require a smaller storage volume, potentially reducing implementation costs, primarily due to the low commercial value of copper slag, along with the use of atmospheric air to transfer and recover stored energy.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a4147e e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8a4147e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56e9b44 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"56e9b44\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35ffec4 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"35ffec4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ebb448 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ebb448\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>These findings demonstrate that copper slag has a high thermal storage capacity, and all tested tank designs proved to be energy efficient. However, to further optimize their performance, the team is working on developing an air injection system that distributes heat more efficiently, combined with a control system to monitor the packed-bed operation with greater precision. <\/p>\n<p>This storage method could give a valuable use to tons of industrial waste while harnessing solar energy, both through thermal collectors and the use of electrical energy discharges. This approach significantly cuts storage costs, enabling the provision of 24\/7 supply of industrial heat at a competitive price.
