The RedoxBlox team will lead the engineering and development of a pilot-scale energy storage platform comprising a thermochemical energy storage module integrated with a gas turbine power generator. In addition, the team will conduct advanced materials and component-level investigations, including a comprehensive analysis of their core thermochemical energy storage material that enables this energy storage technology. Test data collected from intermediate-scale thermal energy storage modules will be used to inform the design, operating parameters, and component selection of the final, integrated, pilot-scale system. This project paves the way for low-cost, long-duration, stationary electrical energy storage that will support grid infrastructure, enhance grid resiliency, and enable a greater share of intermittent renewable resources into the electrical power generation mix.
