Minimal Size Thermal and Electrical Energy Storage System for In-Situ Residential Installation

Descripción del proyecto

Una solución para edificios innovadora para almacenar calor

Los edificios de las ciudades europeas necesitan mejorar su eficacia energética a fin de contribuir a los objetivos de energía de la Unión Europea (UE). Una manera de hacerlo es almacenar la energía térmica a través de soluciones innovadoras integradas en las estructuras existentes. El proyecto MiniStor, financiado con fondos europeos, está desarrollando un sistema avanzado integrado y compacto que almacena calor. La solución se adapta al actual parque inmobiliario de las ciudades de la UE y proporciona un almacenamiento sostenible de calor, frío y electricidad. Se trata de un sistema totalmente innovador que utiliza fuentes renovables basadas en la energía solar. Un sistema de administración de la energía del edificio conectado al internet de las cosas (IdC) se encarga de gestionarlo. El proyecto tiene por objeto reducir considerablemente el consumo de energía en edificios de viviendas, ofreciendo estabilidad y altas prestaciones.

Objetivo

The EU building stock has large potential to increase its energy efficiency with solutions that can be integrated to existing dwellings and through different measures. One of them is optimizing the use and management of thermal energy by allowing it to be stored, levelling demand peaks and increasing use of renewables affected by intermittency such as solar-based heating. The MiniStor project aims at designing and producing a novel compact integrated thermal storage system for achieving sustainable heating, cooling and electricity storage that can be adapted to existing systems in residential buildings. It is based on a high-performing CaCl2/NH3 (calcium chloride/ammonia) thermochemical material reaction combined with parallel hot and cold phase-change materials for flexibility and usage year-round. It also stores electrical energy in a Li-ion battery that responds to grid signals and can sell to the electrical grid. The system is managed by a smart Building Energy Management System that connects to the Internet of Things. The system can have as input energy obtained from a variety of renewable energy sources such as hybrid photovoltaic thermal panels. This arrangement is demonstrated and validated in four demonstration sites (Ireland, France, Greece and Hungary), testing its effectiveness at different local climatic conditions and facilitating market replication. The system provides stability, performance and use of at least 20 years, an estimated compact storage material volume of 0.72 m3, reduced net energy consumption in a building by at least 44% and a return-on-investment period of 6.7 years, using high energy density storage materials that reach storage densities up to 10.6 times higher than water.
