Worldwide Data centers (DC) are estimated to account for 1 to 2% of electricity usage. Regarding the European context, it is expected that data centres will account for 98.5 TWh/year in 2030. So it is evident that there is an important potential to recover waste heat from the cooling processes of DCs. The THUNDER project aims to overcome existing barriers hampering a wide adoption of DCs waste heat recovery strategies, providing an innovative, efficient and cost attractive Seasonal Thermal storage based on Thermochemical Materials. THUNDER solutions stretch across the value chain (data centre innovative storage providers, heat pump manufacturers and district energy company operators). The THUNDER solutions will be validated in field conditions at the Demosite in Bulgaria where the practice of WHR from DC is not widely diffused thus boosting the market also in those areas. Deepened replicability assessment will be done and pre-feasibility analysis developed in 10 further Demosites across all over Europe. Co-design and training workshops will be organized at the replicability identified sites to promote stakeholders engagement and social awareness thus unlocking barriers and make it real THUNDER replication.

据估计，全球数据中心（DC）占用电量的1％至2％。关于欧洲背景，可以预期数据中心在2030年占98.5 TWH/年。因此，很明显，从DC的冷却过程中回收废热的重要潜力。 Thunder项目旨在克服现有的障碍，阻碍了DCS浪费恢复策略的广泛采用，从而提供了基于热化学材料的创新，高效和成本有吸引力的季节性热存储。雷霆解决方案跨越了价值链（数据中心创新的存储提供商，热泵制造商和地区能源公司运营商）。雷霆解决方案将在保加利亚Demosite的野外条件下进行验证，在那里，来自DC的WHR实践并未广泛扩散，从而在这些地区也促进了市场。将进行加深的可复制性评估，并在欧洲各地的10个其他exosites中进行了预可行性分析。共同设计和培训研讨会将在确定的可复制性网站上组织，以促进利益相关者的参与和社会意识，从而释放障碍并使其真正复制。
