Turbo Myth Busters Podcast: Energy Storage Technologies, Part 2
Episode 7, May 05, 2023, 11:51 AM
Interviewing Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz on the state of energy storage technologies.
In this episode of the Turbo Time podcast, we have an engaging conversation with esteemed Turbomachinery International columnists Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz about the current status of energy storage within the industry. Traditional technologies, like the natural gas pipeline system, play a vital role when compared to alternative energy storage options such as batteries or wind power. The intermittent nature of these newer storage systems raises concerns about their dependability, particularly when it comes to satisfying peak demand requirements. Natural gas offers the flexibility to be scaled up or down based on demand and is not heavily dependent on external factors like wind, water availability, or sunlight to achieve optimal efficiency levels.
