DecenTGrids – Decentral Storages for Energy Management in Thermal GridsDecenTGrids – Decentral Storages for Energy Management in

Project

Heat storages can assist in the rational dimensioning and operation of thermal networks. They can smooth out peak loads and eliminate the need for fossil-fuelled peak load boilers. Heat surpluses can be stored temporarily. Decentralised storage systems can relieve the load on individual sections of the grid or enable grid densification and… ...

SolIceTES – Advanced energy management control for ice storage with photovoltaics for cooling applicationsSolIceTES – Advanced energy management control for ice

Project

This project aims to develop an advanced energy management system based on model predictive control (MPC) to optimize the operation of so-called “SolIceTES” systems for space cooling applications. A SolIceTES system consists of an ice-on-coil ice storage coupled with photovoltaics and a compression chiller. Such a system allows for shifting or… ...

Project

Clean water, a reliable power supply and cooling systems for medicines and vaccines are not a given in many rural hospitals in Africa. To ensure better healthcare also in remote regions, the EU has supported the SophiA project, which relies on modular containers to produce drinking water, heat, cold and electricity using solar energy. SPF Institute… ...
