Improving energy technologies: heat storage

Technologies for obtaining energy from fossil fuels, despite the serious global warming problem that is only partially solved by the use of alternative types of fuel and energy resources, remain one of the most important ways for the efficient functioning of industrial and commercial equipment in a variety of sectors of the economy. In the chain of integrated technology for generating, accumulating and selling energy, its storage is, if not the main, then a key process that unites and supports the functionality of the components of this complex, determining its energy efficiency and ensuring environmental safety. A clear manifestation of such energy transformation can be the production, accumulation and use of electricity in a complex thermodynamic process.
