Brenmiller Energy Ltd., a provider of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) solutions for industrial and utility customers, is developing a new version of its bGen™ TES platform technology specifically for nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs).
SMRs produce up to 300 MW(e) of power, and are designed with modular components, offering greater flexibility and potentially lower costs.
Brenmiller’s bGen™ system has already been installed in Italy with Enel, as part of a pilot project to decarbonize combined heat and power (CHP) operations. This project can serve as a strong development base for future TES units tailored for SMR.
Brenmiller’s solution provides a solid foundation that can be adapted and further developed to meet SMR requirements.
Brenmiller will soon introduce a bGen™ configuration tailored for SMR and high-resilience industrial applications. This next-generation product retains Brenmiller’s signature flexibility, safety, and cost-effectiveness – while unlocking powerful new use cases in the nuclear and heavy industry domains.
