How Siemens Gamesa Could Give Coal Plants a Second Life

GreenTechMedia

Ten years ago, Siemens Wind Power, as it was then known, started playing around with a concept for a thermal energy storage system. Last year, the wind turbine manufacturer now known as Siemens Gamesa plugged a 30-megawatt/130-megawatt-hour demonstration system into the grid at Hamburg harbor. has commissioned 21.5
