Optimal Integration of Thermal Energy Storage and Conversion in Fourth Generation Thermal Networks KU Leuven
This dissertation investigates the integration of thermal energy storage and conversion systems in fourth generation thermal networks, with a focus on district heating networks. Energy storage, more specifically in the form of heat or cold, will play a crucial role in future energy systems where large shares of renewable and residual energy sources are included. Due to the variability and seasonality of particular renewable sources, energy ...
