Energy on demand unit to help power crisis - home energy storage

A unique device that can generate electricity and hot water, or heat or cool your home, is touted by Australian inventors as a revolutionary way to help solve the national energy crisis.
The on-demand energy unit drives turbines by generating heat to generate electricity for homes, hospitals, shops, office buildings and factories.
The heat loss of the hot air generated can also be transferred to the heating and cooling system of the building. Sydney-
Companies based in Infratech Industries and the University of Newcastle have developed this equipment, which can be used with the power of the State Grid or independently of the State Grid.
They say their system is the first in the world to have such a system that doesn't sometimes bother the predictability of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. "It's a step-
"The technological changes are different from the current situation," said Dr. Nellore, founder and CEO of Infratech . ".
"We're not only talking about power generation, we're talking about other consumer needs, and reducing our overall dependence on the state grid.
"This device, known as CLES, is short for the on-demand chemical circular energy system.
Dr. Nellore said before the release of Newcastle University on Thursday that the current version covers an area of two metres and can be 30-40 homes.
It generates electricity by a "chemical cycle process" involving a naturally occurring particle mixture.
When these particles combine with oxygen, they generate heat and run turbines inside the equipment to generate electricity.
The Heat lost during the process is then captured to produce hot water and supply the heating and cooling system.
Oxygen and hydrogen are other by-products that can be sold to hospitals, steel mills and fish farms, Dr. Nellore said.
"So this is a multi-generation unit with multiple benefits," he said . ".
Dr. Nellore said the device could be used as an energy storage device that could be charged using power from the state grid like a battery.
Families can use the power generated and stored by the device when they get off work
Peak energy demand may reduce electricity charges.
