Looks like a great product for Northern European markets such as Denmark and Sweden with high wind power penetration and large district heating networks. Such networks in some cases have large scale thermal storage in the form of hot water, and this system would allow steam turbines to run from stored high temperature heat in CHP mode storing any excess low temperature heat in hot water buffer tanks for district heating. The same could apply in Scotland with the systems located at distilleries and breweries – helping to reduce wind power curtailment.
