News is out. AESUS system shipped to AzRize
W2 Energy Delivers AzRISE Engine System
GUELPH, Ontario, April 21, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- W2 Energy, Inc. (WTWO)
is pleased to announce that it has shipped the NT Plasmatron system to The
Arizona Research Institute for Solar Energy (AzRISE, http://www.azrise.org) with
an expected delivery date of April 28.
The NT Plasmatron system when combined with compressed air tanks will be the
world's first example of an AESUS system, which stands for Advanced Energy
Storage and Utilization System.
AESUS systems are necessary because renewable energy sources need to
cost-effectively store electricity during peak production and release it during
peak usage. The amounts of energy are too large for conventional batteries, and
alternative forms of energy storage such as phase change salts, water tanks and
pressurized air alone have not been proven to be effective.
AESUS systems using the NT Plasmatron and SteamRay bring a new approach. During
peak production, electric motors will fill tanks with pressurized air; when the
energy is required, pressurized air will be released, combined with water vapor
and a small amount of natural gas and gasified in the NT Plasmatron. The
resulting syngas will combust, with the resulting high-temperature high-pressure
gas driving the SteamRay and generating electricity at a high-efficiency with a
low cost per stored kilowatt-hour.
"The AESUS system will revolutionize large-scale power production and storage,"
says Mike McLaren, President and CEO of W2 Energy. "It will help renewable energy
producers to compete with conventional sources. AESUS will also help large-scale
consumers of electricity to buy electricity at off-peak rates and then use it
during peak hours."
