Simulation and comparative assessment of heating systems with tank thermal energy storage – A Swiss case study

The Possibility Analysis of Adapting a Public Building to the Standard of a Building with a Zero Energy Balance

“…The second way involves storing energy in building structures like interior and external walls, floors, ceilings, and columns [12,13]. The last approach is external energy storage in the form of water tanks [14,15], thermochemical material tanks [14], or borehole thermal energy storage [15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…• primary energy savings (e.g., [17,27]), • higher energy efficiency (e.g., [11,15,28]), • the exergy efficiencies (e.g., [29]), • maximising the use of renewable energy sources (e.g., [12,16,28]), • allowing the use of off-peak electricity tariffs (e.g., [12]), • increasing energy flexibility (e.g., [14,15]), • increase in self-sufficiency in heat production (e.g., [20]), • economic benefits (e.g., [16,17,21,[30][31][32]), • reducing urban warming (e.g., [33]) and global warming (e.g., [32]), • significant reduction of air pollutant emissions (e.g., [16,17,21,33]).…”

Preliminary sizing of solar district heating systems with seasonal water thermal storage

“…The study [ 24 ] is dedicated to the evaluation of the feasibility and of the decarbonization cost, using STS coupled with solar thermal systems and heat pumps, in different configurations, using models to simulate the hourly energy flows. The models also include modules for economic analysis.…”

Solar Heating for Pit Thermal Energy Storage – Comparison of Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic Systems in TRNSYS 18

“…Renaldi et al [19] used calculations in TRNSYS for techno-economic analysis of a solar thermal system with seasonal heat storage in the UK. TRNSYS can also be used to simulate the operation of systems with different types of heat stores, such as BTES [20][21][22], TTES [23,24], ATES [25] and PTES [26].…”
