Optimising grid flexibility with thermal energy storage

21 June 2023 - 21 June 2023 Online
Thermal energy storage (TES) is needed to effectively integrate and maximize the effect of renewable energy sources (RES), thus accelerating the energy transition for a more sustainable future. Unfortunately, there is still much progress to be made, particularly at a building level.

The available TES technologies are still too expensive, polluting and not easily installed in existing infrastructure or connected to the building energy management systems (BEMS). Fortunately, with support from the European Commission, through the Horizon Europe program, four new projects will spend the next four years developing and demonstrating compact, integrated and sustainable solutions based on phase changing materials (PCM) and thermochemical materials (TCM).

Register here for the webinar organised on Wednesday June 21 at 9:30 CET to learn how the modular TES solutions developed through the ThumbsUp project.
