Participation in joint IEA SHC Task 67 and ES Task 40 on “Compact Thermal Energy Stor-age; Materials within Components within Systems”.
The purpose of this task is to support application-oriented development of innovative compact thermal energy storage. Close collaboration between material scientists and component and system design engineers will lead to an improved understanding and therefore, accelerated development.
The project is the Danish part of the joint SHC/ES Task on compact thermal energy storage technologies (CTES). These technologies are based on the classes of phase change materials and thermochemical materials.
The main objectives of the Task are:
- to have a better understanding of the factors that influence the storage density and the performance degradation of CTES materials,
- to be able to characterize these materials in a reliable and reproducible manner,
- to have methods to effectively determine the SoC of a CTES
- and to have better knowledge on how to design optimized heat exchangers and reactors for CTES technologies.
Task experts work on common objectives within Subtasks, supplying input also from their own projects in order to increase the exchange of experience and knowledge, and to accelerate the pace of knowledge development. DTU Byg has been selected to lead PCM related activities on state of charge determination.
