ReWAX – Smaller heat pump dimensioning by X-to-Energy for peak load coverageReWAX – Smaller heat pump dimensioning by X-to-Energy for

Project

By using a peak load auxiliary heating system, oversizing of the heat pump can be avoided. Oil and gas peak load boilers are standard today but should be replaced in the future due to their CO2 emissions and measures to fight climate change. The utilization of biomass as an energy source is comparatively more complex and domestic biomass resources… ...

PeakMetal – Covering winter peaks of heat and electricity demand by «renewable metal fuels»PeakMetal – Covering winter peaks of heat and electricity

Project

Renewable Metal Fuels (ReMeF) are seasonal energy carriers which are able to enhance the energy security. We investigate the contribution that ReMeF can make as combined heat and power elements of the building stock a) to cover the local demand for electricity and heat and b) to feed electricity into the grid to support the energy system. In focus… ...

REVEAL – Revolutionary Energy Storage Cycle with Carbon-Free AluminiumREVEAL – Revolutionary Energy Storage Cycle with Carbon-Free

Project

SPF has the technical lead in the EU Horizon Europe project reveal. Within this project, a seasonal energy storage cycle is developed that is based on the oxidation and reduction of aluminum as an energy carrier. The main responsibilities of SPF, besides the technical lead, is the development of technologies for Alu-to-Energy conversion: the… ...

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… ...

BigStoreDH – large heat storage for district heating

Project

Within this project the potential of large thermal energy storages to facilitate the decarbonisation and simultaneous expansion of thermal networks are analysed. Different techniques of short-, medium- and long-term heat storage are considered. The focus is on the replacement of fossil peak load, the increased integration of waste heat, the shift… ...

Project

The storage of larger amounts of renewable energy over longer periods of time can be considered one of the last unsolved problems of the energy transition. In the HePostAl and HybridStock projects, it was shown that aluminium enables the seasonal storage of renewable energy by means of a redox cycle and that the annual demand for electricity and… ...
