Abstract - The world is aiming for carbon neutral by
thermodynamics. The proposed system could be made into reality with ease.
2030 which results in shutting down all the coal power plants which results in un-employment of thousands which results in economic unsustainability. The current scenario is going behind Li-ion battery storage system for grid energy storage which is not adequate and sustainable. This article deals with the problem of energy storage for grid application and sustainable development. The proposed energy storage system is based on thermal energy storage. Electricity is stored thermally during off peak hours and retrieved back to electric energy on peak hours. The energy is stored in a cubical structure. The results are optimized for a course of 24 hours and the results are promising the consistency of the proposed system.
1.1 Characteristics The proposed system will promote the term of sustainability by the concepts of reduce, reuse and recycle. The use of recycled steel will promote the sustainability as well as reduce the cost and increase the efficiency. The proposed system will help the stalling coal power plants to get back in operation in a different way so that the large capital and land can be utilised for productivity without a considerable modification. The coal power plant will promote the employment opportunities to an extent. The proposed system will ensure the storage of electric power in large volume with no dust and fumes.
Key Words: Thermal Energy Storage System, Li-ion Battery Alternative, Grid Storage System.

1.INTRODUCTION
The number of studies in the application of thermal energy storage in the grid application are quite low. The recent studies on the Li-ion batteries are shown, how vulnerable they for both environment and for economy of the world. Some studies in the binary cycle have shown its promising future for the application of this system. From the study Fernandes, Nereus.

The green concept is emerging and getting engaged exponentially from last decade. By the start of last decade, industry got a kickstart for the electric era by transforming transportation and logistics systems to electric system. The demand for the energy is increasing day by day. This concept results in zero carbon emission strategy which cause un employment of thousands. The grid storage system which are operational these days is also not adequate. Industry standard Li-ion batteries have much serious problems like they are prone to fire catching, lower charging cycle, and the Li-ion battery made from much expensive and rare earth metals are not sustainable. The ideology of thermal energy storage system which has emerged a long time ago come in to play now in grid level energy storage application. A new technique has been proposed which can hold the energy for over a time of 24 hours with decreased losses and will be a source of income for thousands who will lose their job due to green concept and also give life to the dying coal power plant. In this research, the discussed areas are the fatal flaws of Li-ion batteries, Economic unsustainability created by the green initiative and utilization of resources. There are many alternatives to the Li-ion battery storage system which are not promising in future so far now. This paper deals with the application of conventional energy storage system with new technology. This paper proposes the ideology of thermal energy storage system with the application of binary cycle, electromagnetism and also
