Abstract (en)
A thermal energy storage system is provided. The system comprises an energy storage device (20) configured to store thermal energy, a charging flow path (41) configured to guide a heat transfer medium from a heat source (30) to the energy storage device (20) in order to transfer thermal energy from the heat source (30) to the energy storage device (20), and a discharging flow path (42) configured to guide the heat transfer medium from the energy storage device (20) to a heat consumer (50) in order to transfer thermal energy from the energy storage device (20) to the heat consumer (50). A blower (11) of the system (10) is configured to convey the heat transfer medium in the charging flow path (41) and/or the discharging flow path (42). The thermal energy storage system (10) further comprises a blower driving turbine (60) a rotational output of which is coupled to the blower (11) to provide rotational mechanical energy to the blower (11) so as to drive the blower (11).
