TORC's novel low temperature, low cost, high efficiency, long life, scalable and readily deployable Thermal Battery is the ideal solution for baseload distributed zero emission power generation. The heat pump charging, ORC generator discharging (using a common working fluid) with high energy density PCM storage in an integrated containerised package where storage capacity can be scaled independently to charge/discharge capacity results in a leading LCOS. The solution can be application specific for electrical only or a combination of electrical and thermal generation and/or consumption. The low temperature operation supports service long life and is well suited to many thermal applications. TORC has multi-national channel partners in the C&I (commercial & industrial) sector and mining sectors for its initial deployment of the technology. The technology leverages JV partners gTET, an Australian business designing and manufacturing industrial thermal energy solutions with core technology in ORC generators and high temperature heat pumps, and ESPL, and Australian business with interests in mining, SOFC technology and novel low temperature PCMs.
