Abstract
A grid-balancing solar-thermal system contains a conventional solar-thermal system coupled with electric heaters that draw excess electric power from the grid or other electrical supply point. A thermal storage stores the excess electricity converted to heat.
Claims3
A solar collection system comprising:
- at least one solar collector;
- at least one thermal storage device;
- and
- an electric heating device optically coupled to the at least one thermal storage device, the electric heating device providing heat for storage by the at least one thermal storage device to balance loading of the electric power grid so the grid supplies power to the electric heating device for heating the at least one thermal storage device 2. during times when demand is low.
