The 4th International Workshop on Carnot Batteries will bring together experts in energy storage, with a particular focus on thermal energy storage, to discuss the latest research and demonstration of Carnot batteries. The two-day lecture programme will provide a comprehensive overview of innovative research approaches, covering various Carnot battery concepts, their demonstration, and integration into the power grid and sector coupling. Speakers from both science and industry have already confirmed their participation. The workshop is an international platform for the presentation and international visibility of the latest results in Carnot battery research.
Solving this challenge is of great importance for our society. Integrating intermittent sources of electric power from renewable energies into the future energy infrastructure requires gigawatt-hour storage capacities.
The cost-effective and site-independent storage of electrical energy at the scale of a large city's daily consumption is crucial for the integration of renewable energy into a sustainable future energy system. The isentropic energy storage system technology shows promise in addressing this challenge. Carnot batteries are a developing technology for cost-effective and location-independent storage of electric energy at a gigawatt-hour scale. Also known as Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage (PTES), Pumped Heat Electricity Storage (PHES), or Electro-Thermal Energy Storage (ETES), a Carnot Battery converts electricity into heat, stores the heat in low-cost storage media such as water or molten salt, and converts the heat back to electricity when needed. More economically and environmentally friendly than conventional batteries, Carnot Batteries have the potential to solve the global storage problem for renewable electricity.
The technology of the Carnot Battery has been subject to intensive energy research over the last few years. There are many international research activities on a theoretical and experimental level, and several concepts for Carnot batteries have been proposed. The growing interest in this technology is also evident in the establishment of the IEA Storage Annex 36 'Carnot Batteries'.
Call for Abstract is open until 15 April 2024.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
