An energy storage system converts variable renewable electricity (VRE) to continuous heat. Intermittent electrical energy heats a solid medium. Heat from the solid medium is delivered continuously on demand. An array of bricks incorporating internal radiation cavities is directly heated by thermal radiation. The cavities facilitate rapid, uniform heating via reradiation. Heat delivery via flowing gas establishes a thermocline which maintains high outlet temperature throughout discharge. Gas flows through structured pathways within the array, delivering heat which may be used for processes including calcination, hydrogen electrolysis, steam generation, and thermal power generation and cogeneration. Low temperature waste heat from energy production can be recovered and used to improve overall system efficiency.

The invention relates to a method for exciting and determining fluorescence lifetimes by means of an optical 3-D measurement and to the use of a system of optical 3-D measurement for determining fluorescence lifetimes of fluorescent dyes. According to the described method, only t_tof, the time between photon emission and the detection of the photons, is preferably used in the determination of the fluorescence lifetimes. By contrast, the intensity of the detected fluorescence radiation is usually not taken into account when calculating the fluorescence lifetimes according to the described method. From the times t_tof obtained in this way, it is possible to determine the respective t_eFS, i.e. the respective times between absorption and emission of a photon by the fluorescent dye, using the likewise determined time t_d, i.e. the measured time during which the photons travel the path between light source and sample and between sample and detection location. The fluorescence lifetime can be determined by way of the following procedure: The occurrences of the respective time t_eFS are summed up. The difference in the time at which the sum corresponds to one e-th of the highest sum and the time with the highest sum is then considered to be the fluorescence lifetime.
