Here, we introduce an electricity storage concept that stores electricity as sensible heat in graphite storage blocks and uses multi- junction thermophotovoltaics (TPV) as a heat engine to convert it back to electricity on demand.
When electricity is desired, the system is discharged by pumping liquid tin through the graphite storage unit, which heats it to the peak temperature 2400C, after which it is routed to the power block. The power block consists of an array of graphite pipes that form vertically oriented unit cells.
