Project Name: EXTEND
Led by: Sunamp Ltd
Funding received: £9,245,261

Project EXTEND assessed an increase of storage duration and capacity of Sunamp's thermal batteries, combining the thermal storage system and its smart heating controller with household energy systems to tackle periods of low renewables generation on the grid. Phase 2 will develop, build and trial the EXTEND solution in 100 homes across the UK, evaluating the effects a fleet of EXTEND thermal storage systems would have if a large number of them was deployed onto a specific area of the network.

Project Name: ADSorB
Led by: The University of Sheffield
Funding received: £2,595,571

The ADSorB project focuses on the development of innovative long duration thermal storage technologies and associated intelligent control systems. The modular systems developed within the project will enable optimised, flexible storage of heat within homes, providing benefits for both the occupant and grid. Phase 2 will continue the development of the modular thermal energy stores and the control software and hardware, with prototype energy systems to be manufactured and deployed at the Creative Energy Homes campus at the University of Nottingham, enabling practical demonstration within lived-in homes.

Project Name: HyDUS
Led by: EDF R&D UK
Funding received: £7,733,821

The HyDUS (Hydrogen Depleted Uranium Storage) project has adapted and applied Metal Hydride storage from established fusion technology to safely store large quantities of Hydrogen for long periods. In Phase 2, EDF R&D UK will partner with the University of Bristol, UKAEA and Urenco to develop a full cycle, modular and low-cost bulk hydrogen energy storage demonstrator.

Project Name: Sustainable Single Liquid Flow Battery
Led by: StorTera
Funding received: £5,019,402

StorTera has developed a sustainable, highly efficient, and highly energy dense lithium sulphur based single liquid flow battery (SLIQ) technology. In Phase 2, StorTera will manufacture a prototype SLIQ that utilises a novel cylindrical cell architecture in a modular format to optimise the manufacture, installation and maintenance of the system. With a focus on sustainability, the SLIQ will utilise recyclable materials and by-products of the wood industry. Towards the end of Phase 2, eight modular units will be combined to build a 200kW/1.6MWh first of a kind demonstrator SLIQ that will be installed at Midlothian Innovation Centre outside Edinburgh.

Project Name: High-Density Hydro® Energy Storage
Led by: RheEnergise
Funding received: £8,242,965

RheEnergise has developed High-Density Hydro® (HDH), a cost optimised energy storage solution to create stable, dispatchable power grids from ultra-low-cost renewable energy. During Phase 2, HDH will go through several R&D iterations culminating in the deployment of a 250kW/1MWh (4 hours) first-of-a-kind demonstrator with full subsystem functionality.
