Abstract
Applying Thermal Energy Storage (TES) in the industry is becoming more relevant as the awareness grows and the technology is further developed. Within some temperature ranges and fields of application, the technology is mature (e.g. geothermal storage and hot water accumulation tanks). At higher temperatures, however, further technology development is required, both on component and system integration level.
The main objectives of this task were:
- To identify which HighEFF partners are the best candidates for TES implementation at high temperatures
- To illustrate the potential for TES with a theoretical case study
Several potential applications within the HighEFF consortium are mapped and briefly evaluated. The further need for research is stated, and a case study regarding steam storage is performed.
