Converting surplus renewable power into dispatchable thermal energy and long-duration storage
Curtailed wind and solar output is not just a technical inconvenience. It is lost revenue. As renewable penetration grows, curtailment is increasing, grid access constraints are tightening, and the commercial case for assets that can store and dispatch on demand is strengthening. The question for renewable energy producers is no longer whether to add storage. It is whether the engineering exists to make long-duration thermal storage work at their scale.
Aalborg CSP engineers systems that convert surplus electricity from wind or solar installations into stored high-temperature heat. Charged when power is cheap or curtailed, dispatched as steam or electricity when demand and prices are highest. The result is a flexible, dispatchable asset built around generation infrastructure that already exists.
We are technology agnostic: the right configuration depends on the generation profile, the dispatch requirements, the grid connection, and the economics. We assess what the evidence shows and engineer what works, from first feasibility question to operating plant.
