CONSULTING

Steinmüller Engineering offers engineering support for your thermal power plants, waste or sewage sludge incineration plants, refineries, industrial plants and solar power plants. We advise on how to use energy efficiently and find an economically worthwhile application for remaining waste heat, e.g. in local or district heating. We deliver innovative steam generators for new applications such as high-tempera-ture molten salt heat storage systems. In close cooperation with our customer, we work in international teams considering various standards such as ASME, GOST, EN and others.

THERMAL STORAGE – THE KEY TO ENERGY TRANSITION

FUNCTIONAL CONCEPT OF A THERMAL SALT STORAGE POWER PLANT

CONSULTING

THE ENERGY SECTOR IS EVOLVING IN THE AIM OF OVERCOMING CLIMATE CHANGE. AS FOSSIL FUELS WILL IN FUTURE BE REPLACED BY RENEWABLE ENERGY, ENERGY STORAGE IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT.

Photovoltaic and wind energy plants will produce an increasing share of our electricity in the future. They will produce energy when sun and wind are available, independent of consumer demand. The change from a demand-driven fossil energy system to a supply-driven renewable energy system will require significant adaptation.

This adaptation includes grid extension and consumer flexibility (load management). Power suppliers that currently run under base load conditions will have to become more flexible in the future (e.g. biomass combustion, waste incinera-tion plants, etc.). Energy storage technologies will be required to shift the availability of renewable energy from times of high electricity production to times of high energy demand.

Some storage technologies will balance frequency fluctuations in the electric grid, others will supply energy during the night, and other still will be

used as seasonal storage to transfer energy surpluses from one season to another.

In high-temperature thermal storage systems, energy is stored in different media such as liquid molten salt or solid particles. Having been in-volved in solar thermal energy since its inception, Steinmüller Engineering has gained significant experience with molten salt technology.

The company also cooperates closely with re-search institutes to further develop innovative solutions for thermal storage.

One application for high-temperature storage is the generation of steam from the stored heat. The steam can be used directly in an industrial facility or can be used for the production of electricity with a power-to-heat system. Such a system can re-use parts of power plants as shown in the schematic below.

RENEWABLE AND RELIABLE ELECTRICITY AND HEAT

The future energy system will be significantly more complex than it is today. The importance of centralized power plants will decrease and numerous decentralized power producers will have to be managed within virtual power plants. Smart grids will distribute energy between producers, consumers and storage facilities.

All these different aspects need to be taken into consideration for a secure supply of energy, power and heat and for all processes in an industrialized country. Energy suppliers and consumers will need to develop innovative energy concepts to maintain their competiveness. Steinmüller Engineering can assist you in finding your way in this increasingly interconnected energy network by providing technology-inde-pendent consulting services.

4th generation heating networks will integrate a high share of renewable and waste heat. By operating at a lower temperature level than today, smart grids will minimize losses and increase efficiency. Steinmüller Engineering will develop your concept for transition to a 4th generation heating network, including integration of new energy sources and thermal storage.

INDUSTRIAL WASTE HEAT UTILIZATIONCONSULTING

A vast amount of waste heat from all kinds of industrial processes is still dissipated into the environment without being used. The temperature of waste heat from industrial processes such as glass, steel or cement production can be high enough for a variety of applications from power generation to district heating. Often waste heat is not used because of the complexity of such projects. Steinmüller Engineering is able to guide you through the entire process:

n EVALUATE THE WASTE HEAT POTENTIAL

n DEFINE PROCESS REQUIREMENTS AND RE-STRICTIONS

n ELABORATE AND COMPARE CONCEPTS FOR WASTE HEAT UTILIZATION

n ENGINEER THE OVERALL SYSTEM
