Laboratory experiments on the thermal storage system were conducted considering conditions that exist during the application of the TESSe2b system in three demo sites (Table 4). Liquid PCM is poured in the tank and fills the space around the HE. Then, with the lid of the tank open, it is left to cool down to room temperature.
This is a total water storage volume of approximately 18 million cubic meters. The potential of new compact thermal storage systems for non-solar applications is considerably higher because stored energy can replace heat and cold produced using fossil fuels. Storage technology therefore also reduces CO2 emissions.
