This method is generally considered as more efficient than conventional room temperature electrolysis (efficiency increases with increasing temperature). In high temperature electrolysis, water is converted to steam by using thermal energy. The system components are either heated directly by the steam supply or indirectly by heat transfer.
Basic Principle. The basic principle is the same in all TES applications. Energy is supplied to a storage system for removal and use at a later time. What mainly varies is the scale of the storage and the storage method used. The process of storing thermal energy can be described in three steps, referred to as a cycle.
