Abstract:
An energy storage device for storing electrical energy in the form of heat energy and a corresponding method for operating an energy storage device of this type. The energy storage device includes an electric heater for converting electrical energy into heat energy, a heat storage device for storing the heat energy of the electric heater, and a heat exchanger for emitting heat energy from the heat storage device. The heat storage device includes, at least, multiple metal rods arranged upright and serving to store heat energy from the electric heater; a base; and multiple supporting units. Each supporting unit supports one of the metal rods and is connected with the base.
