Theme: Heat storage in homes
Speaker:Tim Rutten, director ARES
In the climate agreement, an energy-neutral built environment is a key pillar to achieve the CO2 target in the short and long term. Energy storage makes it possible to meet variable energy demand with erratic renewable energy supply. A compact heat/cold storage system that combines good performance in terms of storage capacity, power and efficiency with cost effectiveness and scalability is necessary.
ARES, from Zevenaar, is developing a heat battery that can be placed in homes. The heat battery uses the thermochemical heat pump principle. Technical feasibility has been demonstrated in several demonstration projects (MERITS, CCO-Proto, SWeKOS). The final step towards market introduction will be worked out over the next 2.5 years. In the SorpTES project, a pilot production line will be developed and the 8 systems will be tested in real-life situations. Tim Rutten, Director of ARES, explains the opportunities and obstacles for heat batteries. He gives an overview of the available storage methods, the various developments and the business case.
The hall is open from 19:30, the lecture starts at 20:00.
