Abstract
There is provided an energy management method, comprising steps of conducting (304) electric energy from an energy production plant (110, 112, 114, 140) to an energy storage facility (120, 220), applying, in the energy storage facility (120, 220), the received electric energy on a chemical compound (222) to separate the chemical compound to a first component (224) and a second component (226), and storing (306), in the energy storage facility (120, 220), the first component and the second component separately.
Claims16
An energy management method, comprising:
- conducting electric energy produced by an energy production plant to an energy storage facility;
- applying, in the energy storage facility, the received electric energy to a chemical compound to separate the chemical compound into a first component and a second component, wherein the first component comprises an alkaline metal and the second component comprises a halogen gas;
- storing, in the energy storage facility, the first component and the second component separately;
- and
- bringing the first component and the second component together to re-form the chemical compound and to produce energy when needed.

An energy management arrangement, comprising:
- an energy storage facility for storing energy;
- and
- a power network connected to the energy storage facility to supply the energy storage facility with electric energy from an energy production plant;
- wherein the energy storage facility comprises:
- a chamber in which the received electric energy is applied to a chemical compound to separate the chemical compound into a first component and a second component, wherein the first component comprises an alkaline metal and the second component comprises a halogen gas;
- storage in which the first component and the second component are separately stored;
- and
- a reaction chamber in which the first component and second component are brought together to re-form the chemical compound and to produce energy when needed.
