Thermal Energy Storage 1/2
Co-organized with ENEA Chair: Raffaele LIBERATORE, ENEA
The increase in the use of non-programmable renewable sources requires tools that ensure continuous supply without impacting the environment or the use of strategic materials. Introducing a thermal storage system with high energy density or high capacity, with good performance in terms of temperatures and reversibility, could significantly reduce the consumption of fossil energy, not only in the civil sector but also in the industrial sector and the production of electricity. The requests for technological development include the search for new materials, such as thermochemical or nanostructured phase change materials, the development of processes to minimize thermal losses, the validation of new applications that exploit large basins such as underground aquifers or other thermal sources such as geothermal resources, as well as the development of advanced controls to align energy demand with production capabilities. In addition to low-temperature and residential application systems, particular concrete materials with nano-enhanced micro-encapsulated and nanostructured electro-dissipative phase change materials for power-to-heat applications will be covered here. In addition, the development of numerical models for the study of advanced solutions of cascade thermal storage systems for industrial plants, studies on medium-temperature thermochemical materials and high-temperature fluidized beds will be analyzed.
