background
The increasing global demand for electrical energy is beyond question. Compared to other forms of energy, electrical energy or electricity has the disadvantage that it is grid-bound and can hardly be stored. In other words, electricity must be produced at the same time as it is consumed. Even with very good planning by grid operators, it can happen that actual consumption differs locally or regionally from generation. Now there is an invention that makes a massive increase in global electricity generation possible.
Innovation / Solution
The innovative power plant concept utilizes the energy contained in explosives and makes it usable for conversion into thermal and electrical energy thanks to a sophisticated, cascade-like arrangement of pressure storage tanks. Pressurized explosive gases generated in a gas generator chamber drive turbines directly, so that no detour via heat transfer processes to generate steam is necessary. Compared to fossil fuels, components of explosives, such as the cellulose mainly contained in nitrocellulose, are a renewable raw material, infinitely available and also CO2-neutral. The explosive gases are contained in a closed system and can therefore be purified or injected deep into the ground.Benefits
Immediate utilization of the gas pressure generated by the explosion
High energy yield by utilizing the effect of explosives, which increases output thousands of times compared to combustion processes
Very high efficiency and efficient power plant operation with the option of cold start or black start
Base load capability and scalability
