The project’s goal is to develop and demonstrate novel modular, compact, high performances and Plug&Play thermal energy storage (TES) solutions for heating, cooling and hot tap water production. The new concept of TES proposed in the project will provide electricity load shifting with meaningful peak shaving of the thermal and electric load demands. Furthermore, the exploitation of renewable sources will be a key point of the new TES device considering at the same time the cost-effective results in terms of energy, costs and sustainability of the system. The project will provide a TES system able to store energy for heating and cooling in building applications for a period of at least four weeks. The novel TES system will be based on a closed-loop TCM reactor insulated by PCM and equipped with an ice storage, again integrated with PCM, for high cooling energy demand. The thermodynamic cycle has been designed to benefit from a further PCM thermal buffer tank, breaking through the closed-loop concept by compensating the energy for humidification with its latent heat. An advanced heat pump will be finally dedicated to the power conversion during the thermal charging process of reactor and PCMs storages, increasing the overall performance. A dedicated control system will be developed to operate the TES according to the energy production and the end-users’ requirements, adapting to the conditions of use according to the type of air conditioning system and the particular demand for domestic hot water. The TES solution will be adaptable to all the different possible European scenarios, in terms of energy policy and end-users’ requirements. It will be designed to be used both as integrated into the building heating system and in the smart electricity grid, or in buildings not connected to district heating and cooling network. Different characteristics of the system will be taken into account, ranging from storage efficiency and durability to cost reduction and LCA and LCCA.

该项目的目标是开发和演示新型的模块化，紧凑，高性能，并发挥热能存储（TES）解决方案，用于加热，冷却和热自来水。该项目中提出的TE的新概念将提供电力负载转移，并有意义地剃光热负载和电力负载需求。此外，对可再生能源的剥削将是新的TES设备的关键点，同时考虑到系统的能源，成本和可持续性的成本效益结果。该项目将为TES系统提供至少四个星期的建筑应用中的供暖和冷却的能量。新颖的TES系统将基于由PCM绝缘并配备冰储存的闭环TCM反应器，并再次与PCM集成，以实现高冷却的能量需求。热力学循环的设计是从进一步的PCM热缓冲罐中受益的，通过补偿其潜热的加湿能量来打破闭环概念。在反应堆和PCMS存储的热充电过程中，高级热泵最终将用于电源转换，从而提高整体性能。将根据能源生产和最终用户的要求开发专用的控制系统，以根据空调系统的类型以及对家用热水的特殊需求来适应使用条件。 TES解决方案将在能源政策和最终用户的要求方面适应所有不同可能的欧洲情景。它将被设计为将其用于集成到建筑物供暖系统和智能电网中，或在与地区供暖和冷却网络连接的建筑物中。从存储效率和耐久性到降低成本以及LCA和LCCA，将考虑系统的不同特征。
