We believe that the Energy Transition only will succeed with the integration of innovative and efficient Energy Storage Technologies.
LOMARTEC
combines the best of two grid scale Energy Storage Technologies in one Hybrid System. We store and re-supply on demand surplus electricity from the grid, any available renewable and irregularly supplied energy, like from PV or Wind and we utilize ambient temperatures and waste heat as energy sources and store them as electric power.
Problem Statement*
There have been too many hours of negative prices on the German EPEX-market
That means there is an OVERSUPPLY of green electricity on the market
In those cases, solar and wind farms are often being CURTAILED (‘shut down’)
In 2023 curtailment led to an irreversible power loss of 19 TWh in Germany alone
Industry leaves waste heat with a saving potential of 5 billion € a year
Leaving a potential of 70 TWh/a plus emission reductions of 20 mt of CO2
Whereas transmission via the Grid Is based on AC, renewables are DC. There is a lack of Hybrid AC-DC Smart Grids
We need to rethink our Power Systems.

lntroduction - Hybrid Energy Storage System HESS
LOMARTEC‘s grid scale Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) combines an Advanced Compressed Air Energy System (A-CAES) with a THERMOELECTRIC Battery Energy Storage System (T-BESS).
HESS is the only hybrid p o w er storage system combining the following energies:
- Ambient temperatures (10°C - 70°C)
- Wasted heat (10°C - 70°C, optional up to 150°C)
- Irregularly supplied power from PV, Windfarms or other VRE
- Regularly supplied surplus power from the grid
(otherwise lost power through curtailment) - Heat from isothermal compression (up to 150°C)
- Geothermal Energy up to 150°C
- Potential of high pressure (up to 500 bar) to low pressure (f.x. 5 bar)
- Potential of high temperatures to low temperatures (Seebeck)
- High torques generated with compressed air
- High speeds without reducing the torques
- Gravitation
- Buoyancy
- Momentum
- Furthermore electricity from non - recyclable waste or from biogasproduction

USPs
According to the Carnot process, the theoretically possible efficiency is a maximum of 100%, which can never be achieved with machines due to heat or friction alone. The situation is different, if the energy added is only part of the energy available to a process. For example, a heat pump utilizes the ambient heat in addition to the added electricity and thus achieves a value, specified as coefficient of performance or COP - greater than 1.
Long Duration Hybrid Storage:
- Unlimited Storage Periods
- Long Discharging Time
- Ultra short Reactions
- Above Ground + Sub Surface
Intelligent Thermoelectrics:
- Converting Anergy to Energy
- Low Temperatures to Electricity
- Cells with new Electrolyte with so far unseen Features
Intelligent Mechanics:
Addition of Energies + Adding Speeds without reducing Torques = Higher Performance.
Second Grid – DC:
Hybrid AC – DC Smart Grids with onsite renewable Production, Storage, Gensets and DC Tools.
Improved efficiency and Security.
Sustainability:
HESS covers 7 of UN‘s 17 Goals for sustainable Developments
- No rare or problematic Materials
- Up to 7% CO2 Reductions worldwide

- First Class OEM Partners
TOP USPs
- Long Duration Hybrid Storage
- Direct storing Electricity from low Temperatures 10°C-70°C

LOMARTEC's Business Models
HESS, for the Stabilization of the AC Grid with DC Tools:
- Income from direct sales to the TSOs of ENTSO and to DSOs in Europe.
- Hardware, Software, Services.
Example: 100 MW / 800 MWh
HESS in an underground
tunnel conflguration,
lifetime 50 years,
ROI 6-12 years
HESS, as Integration in lndustries:
- Power generation, storage and power supply on demand.
- Sector coupling - Power-to-Heat.
- Sector coupling Heat-to-Power.
- Income from direct sales and sales via selected partners.

Only in Co-operation with selected partners:
- Income through Power Arbitrage
(Direct Marketing). - Long Term PPA agreements with own or assigned HESS units.

- Disaster Relief Operations.
Example: DUAL-BESS attached to 30 GWh solar farm:
- One THERMAL-BESS 20-foot container cost: € 400.000
- One THERMAL-BESS 20-foot container can store: 8 MWh
- Per day it needs to store: 6.6 MWh
(8% curtailment per year refers to curtailment as described in the column to the right) - Per year it needs to store: 2.400 MWh
- Average EPEX- price: € 95,– / MWh
- The value of one day storage is: € 627
- The value of one year storage is: € 228.855,–
- One THERMAL-BESS 20-foot container will have earned itself back in 1.75 years.
- Since THERMAL BESS can transform ambient temperatures of 10°C - 70°C and store it as electricity, the ROI will even be shorter.
One Business Case
From the German market:
- Wind Energy Output in 2023: Approximately 162.060 GWh
- Solar Energy Output in 2023: Approximately 65.548 GWh
- In total there has been generated 227.608 GWh (227.608.000 MWh) on renewable electricity in Germany >8% of these renewable sources were curtailed in 2023
- EPEX = European Power Exchange, equal to 19.000.000 MWh (19 TWh) of electricity
being lost forever - The monetized value of this was equal to € 1,8 billion
(average EPEX – price of € 95,18 / MWh in 2023) - The targeted LCOS of our solution is, depending on the no. of cycles, € 30,– / MWh
- Asset owners would have earned at least € 65,– / MWh by using our solution
- OR: They could have earned € 1,235 billion per year (saved)

"To me this looks very interesting, because we have a huge quantity of residual heat, which is produced in all our activities. Yet we need to buy a lot of electricity. So, if it was feasible to produce electricity out of heat that would be indeed of high interest."
