The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: An energy storage system utilizes solid particles that are heated by the electric power from the renewable energy power plant. A particle container comprises a cylindrical particle chamber (10) for storing particles (5), that are heated for example at a heat exchanger of the energy storage system. The particle chamber walls (11) are made of a refractory material. Between the particle chamber walls (11) and the support wall (13) is a space (12) that is filled with solid particles (6). These solid particles (6) are purposed to stay in said space (12), and act as an insulation for the particle chamber (10) and to provide flexibility to accommodate the thermal expansion of the particle chamber (10).
