1414 Degrees
Highly efficient, clean and scalable thermal energy storage offering combined heat and power solutions.
The energy industry is in transition and storage is integral to keeping the lights on in a renewable energy future.
1414 Degrees’ large scale storage solutions will solve the threats of uncertain supply and high prices by addressing both heat and electrical energy needs for a clean, sustainable future.
This breakthrough technology is set to disrupt energy storage globally because it provides energy in the form most used in the world – heat.
SiliconAurora
On the 12th of December 2019, 1414 Degrees completed the purchase of SolarReserve Australia II Pty Ltd, which has since been renamed SiliconAurora Pty Ltd.
SiliconAurora owns the advanced Aurora Solar Energy Project (“Aurora Project”) near Port Augusta in South Australia.
The Aurora Solar Energy Project has SA Government development approval for a 70 MW solar PV farm and 150 MW of generation from a concentrated solar thermal plant (CST). South Australian company, 1414 Degrees proposes to use the site to pilot its world leading TESS-GRID technology.
Positive levelised cost of storage (LCOS) results
Our commercial review shows the TESS will be competitive with other storage technologies when compared with the levelised costs of storage (LCOS) analysis, based on the respected Lazard methodology.
The pilot installations have shown that we can now build a TESS at a significantly reduced cost (see chart to right). Furthermore the projections for future systems will decline steeply. The future LCOS of the TESS will be comparable with long duration pumped hydro.
What is 1414 Degrees?
1414 Degrees technology is set for global growth, stabilising renewables to make clean energy available to all, at all times.
1414 Degrees’ patented Thermal Energy Storage Solution (TESS) takes in electricity or biogas, stores it as heat and discharges both heat and electricity in the proportions required. The TESS provides an alternative to gas, coal or electricity for process heat, enabling low cost carbon reduction using renewable energy sources.
Our technology is the first of its kind – no other solution is delivering heat and electrical energy at the scale and low cost of 1414 Degrees. It is unique in its combination of versatility, scalability and sustainability.
Unique
a patented thermal energy storage system (TESS) storing energy as latent heat in molten silicon
