Position Summary
The mission of HYSTORE is to develop and validate an innovative set of TES concepts, based on the combination of cutting‑edge technology components, namely, ALL‑IN‑ONE PCM solution, LOW‑TEMP PCM HEATING & COOLING solution, PCM HEATING solution and TCM HEATING & COOLING solution. The four novel concepts attain different but thorough applications on H/C, DHW configurations and further enable the provision of hybrid – meaning energy and power‑services. It follows the current European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET‑Plan) that promotes the implementation of thermal storage technologies, to increase the share of renewable energy systems (RES) or variable renewable energy (VRE). It also encourages TES as an enabler to improve the flexible and reliable operation of buildings – both power and thermal systems – as decentralized energy resources, exploiting the increasing share of renewables, maximizing the exploitation of local RES generation and electrical grid peak‑load shedding and management. Four use‑case applications are planned in different climates for District Heating/Cooling connected and non‑DHC‑connected buildings with high‑impact and replication potential. Regarding cost‑effectiveness, HYSTORE aims to achieve up to +150% energy density and –50% CAPEX compared to state‑of‑the‑art.
