ENERGY SAVING HEAT-ACCUMULATING EQUIPMENT
Heating heat-accumulating stoves, fireplaces, stationary heat-accumulators
of STE type are mage of unique ecologically friendly natural material –
talcum peach – mined in the Republic of Karelia.

STE stationary heat-accumulators heat premises of different allotment consuming cheaper

night electric energy and energy of autonomous energy sources.

Estimate sales market of STE stationary heat-accumulators in the Republic of Karelia accounts for 300-400 million RUR.
Usage of STE stationary heat-accumulators is planned within regional program of energy saving till 2013,
including heating of state-financed organizations.

In the Russian Federation, according to prediction estimate, market of stationary heat-accumulators sales is to amount
to 1.5-2 billion RUR, market of stoves, fireplaces and other talcum peach products – up to 1billion RUR annually.

In European countries annual market of stoves, fireplaces and other talcum peach products sales is to amount 10-30 million EUR.
The most promising trend of STE stationary heat-accumulators usage can be joint operation with atomic power stations.

Estimate efficiency of heat-accumulators usage is to account for 14.6 billion kWh,

or 21.9 billion RUR annually due to decrease of energy consumption
in Public and Housing Utilities and release of electric power in energetics.

 STE HEAT-ACCUMULATORS MANUAL

STE stationary heat-accumulators are designed for heating premises of different allotment; they use
as an energy source cheaper night electric energy (lower night tariff) and (or) excessive electric energy
of autonomous energy sources; solid fuel or gas can be additional sources of energy.
Electric heating with use of STE stationary heat-accumulators is to assist in solving problems of Russian
energetics and public and housing utilities:

to release part of electric energy at a daytime and decrease the difference between day and night
consumption (in Moscow there are drops up to 3,000 kWh in winter time);
increase efficiency (performance index) and sustainability of electric generators operation,
including atomic power stations, due to equal levering of load within a day;
decrease electric energy losses in power transmission lines, distribution substations and transformer
substations till average world level;
increase efficiency of wind power stations, hydro power stations and small (regional and floating)
nuclear power stations operating in autonomous mode;
provision of residential, public and municipal buildings with any number of floors with
cheap sustainable quality heating.

STE stationary heat-accumulators of various types are used as heating equipment in all cases.
Basis differences of STE stationary heat-accumulators from foreign heat-accumulators are:

large energy capacity (2; 4; 8; 16; 24; 32; 40 and up to 1000 kW);
possibility to install stationary heat-accumulators into existing not-load-bearing structures
of buildings (walls, basements);
use ofadditional (reserve) fuel (solid or gas) in STE stationary heat-accumulators of Stove type;
use of talcum peach as a working medium, a natural ecologically friendly material, mined in Karelia.

For more than a century talcum peach (soapstone, talcum carbonate, etc) has been proved as a good
heat-resisting material with high degree of heat output and thermal capacity for producing stoves and
fireplaces. STE stationary heat-accumulators service life is unlimited. Change of electric heating elements
is conducted preventively after 4-5 years of a heating device exploitation, and does not require its dismantling.
The cost of STE heat-accumulators in equivalent to 1 kW of power is not more than 2,500-3,000 RUR
depending on unit’s capacity and design, what is significantly lower than the cost of analogues operating
on a cheaper night energy tariff for heating purposes.
Payback of STE heat-accumulator accounts for 2-3 years depending on installation place and previously
used fuel type. The most effective way of STE usage is to switch from boiler houses operating on solid
or gas fuel in heat supply, or if there are sufficient electric powers of distribution and transformer
substations in close proximity.
Absence of hydro-accumulating electric power stations in Russia leads to excess of electric energy
at night time. Electric load decrease at heat and nuclear power stations at night time results in lowering
efficiency and sustainability of their operating.

Gas-turbine or hydro-accumulating electric stations, projected for rising sustainability of nuclear power
stations operation, in equivalent to 1 kW cost from 450 up to 1,500 EUR; at the same time expenses
on construction of STE stationary heat-accumulators of larger capacity account for up to 100 EUR.
Moreover, use of powerful heat-accumulators of up to 200 MW of capacity will make it possible to abandon
construction of nuclear energy stations and heat station in close proximity to major cities (Voronezh,
Nizhny Novgorod, etc). According to data available, nuclear power stations are bound to operate by lowed
parameters due to instability of electric load in order to escape accidents because of possible rapid
load fluctuations.
Construction and use of floating nuclear power stations with electric energy generators of set capacity
of up to 70 MW in far north and any remote areas becomes a feature of the present day. Electric energy
consumers significantly remote from a floating station can install STE heat-accumulator of large
(up to 1,000 kW), middle (up to 250 kW), or small capacity (up to 40 kW).
If wind power station gains no load, the major part of electric energy is dissipated in atmosphere.
By estimate of wind power station projected for construction in Valaam island, use of STE stationary
heat-accumulators is to increase performance index of the wind power station on 40%.
In Russia already several dozens of enterprises are engaged in production of wind power stations,
including ecologically safe ones. In the near decade increase in demand for wind power stations is predicted
due to development of individual housing construction and deficit of electric energy. Usage of autonomous
energy facilities consisting of wind power stations and STE assists increasing competitiveness of wind
power station in comparison to other energy sources.
New for Russia but widely used in Europe source of electric energy is hydro power station of damless
type and flowing type. Construction expenditures are minor. Flowing hydro power station does not require
dam construction; partly derivation of water from a river to a pipeline or submerging of a turbine directly
into river bend is enough. Flowing hydro power stations can produce from 1 to 100 kWh of electric energy.
Use of STE jointly with hydro power station is to increase economic performance of autonomous energy
installation HPS-STE.
Except from solving private tasks, autonomous energy installations can address a major problem of Russia
today – energy supply of northern territories within so called Northern Shipment, which annually requires
significant finances from all level budgets.
High necessity in use of energy accumulators jointly with wind and hydro power stations in systems of heat
supply was emphasized in the Energy of the Future First International Forum, conducted in December,
2004 under the chairmanship of V.E. Fortov, member of the Academy of Sciences, Secretary of the
Department of energetics, engineering, mechanics and management processes of the Russian
Academy of Sciences.
In Moscow in May, 2006 during the Days of Small and Middle-Sized Businesses of Russia-2006 exhibition
STE stationary heat-accumulator of Stove type was awarded a diploma by the Russian Union
of Manufacturers and Entrepreneurs in the Best Innovative Project nomination. Stationary heat-accumulator
of Wall type (Warm Wall sanative heater) and ShEt electric heater also were awarded.
In 2007 “the STE stationary heat-accumulators using cheaper night electric energy tariff and alternative
energy sources for heating purposes” project was granted a diploma of a laureate of the “Best innovations
of the capital of Volga Region – to city residents” second city contest of innovative projects for modernization
and development of municipal services of Nizhny Novgorod.
The company was awarded a silver medal in Best Innovative Project in Fuel and Energy Sphere nomination
within the High Technologies, Innovations, Investments 14th International Exhibition-Congress, conducted
in September, 22-25 2008 in Saint-Petersburg.
Usage of STE heat-accumulators for heating of specific objects is inclined into the Regional Program
of Energy Saving till 2012, agreed by the order of the Government of the Republic of Karelia dated
February, 5 2008 № 51 р-П.
Rights on STE stationary heat-accumulator are patented.
