An energy transfer system for absorbing, temporarily storing and releasing energy is disclosed. The described energy transfer system comprises (a) a first container containing a Phase Change Material, (b) a heat generation element, which is connectable to an external energy source and which is capable of charging the Phase Change Material with thermal energy, wherein energy provided by the external energy source is used, and a heat extraction element, which is connectable to an external heat engine and which is capable of extracting thermal energy from the Phase Change Material, wherein the external heat engine is capable of converting the extracted thermal energy into electric energy. It is further described an energy transfer arrangement comprising two of such energy transfer systems, and a method for absorbing, temporarily storing and releasing energy.
