Iranian scientists produce energy storage device for gas turbines

Tehran, IRNA – For the first time in Iran and the Middle East, researchers of Sharif University of Technology designed and built a device that increases the production capacity of gas turbines in peak consumption conditions by using energy storage system in ice form.

Ali Behrouzifar, the CEO of this Iranian technology based company, said that this device in gas turbines during low demand hours, electrical energy is used to produce ice, and the produced ice gradually melts during peak hours and cools the air entering the gas turbine through a heat exchanger.

According to him, although this type of mechanism is used all over the world to increase the production capacity of gas turbines, this technology has not existed in Iran.

The very important advantage of this mechanism and system is that it does not need water, which is important in Iran's current water shortage situation.

In addition, this energy storage device can do the job with its high efficiency in hot and humid areas, while similar devices in addition to the need for water, have limited efficiency in humid areas.

CEO of this Iranian technology based company added that this energy storage device can be used in all gas pressure boosting stations and oilfields to increase the transmission or extraction capacity.
