What are the economic methodologies used in a thermal energy storage system?

The economic methodologies applied in this report have been adopted from Annex 29 in ECES. To evaluate the integration of a thermal energy storage system in a process, key performance indicators (KPI) are determined from storage system parameters that dictate performance and external factors that emerge from the integration.

How can a large-scale thermal energy storage (LTEs) system be optimized?

To fully exploit the potential of these large-scale thermal energy storage (LTES) technologies, comprehensive planning and tuning of the overall system by dynamic system simulations is necessary. Modelica-based simulation tools show many advantages over other established system simulation tools.

What factors limit the commercial deployment of thermal energy storage systems?

One of the key factors that currently limits the commercial deployment of thermal energy storage (TES) systems is their complex design procedure, especially in the case of latent heat TES systems. Design procedures should address both the specificities of the TES system under consideration and those of the application to be integrated within.

What is a thermal energy storage system?

In these systems, the recovered heat is typically usedto heat water that is stored in a hot water storage tank for domestic use. The use of a thermal energy storage (TES)system enables the recovered energy to meet future thermal demand.

What is a thermal energy system?

2.3 Application evaluation Thermal energy systems have seen widespread use in the district heating sector. These systems have been installed in many countries across Europe for two main purposes: a) buffer storage and b) seasonal storage. Generally, conventional designs for both storage types are at a high TRL.

What are the different types of seasonal energy storage systems?

Common seasonal storage systems can be distinguished between tank thermal energy storage (TTES), pit thermal energy storage (PTES), borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) and aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) shown in Fig. 2.1 . Fig. 2.1. Four seasonal sensible storage technologies .
