Impact of electro-thermal energy storage installations
EF 2016-17
Résumé
The proposal deals with an efficient, non-polluting and unity power factor control method for generating heatfrom off-peak electricity that can be stored as heat in a patented graphite-based thermal energy storage system.The stored thermal energy can be released during peak demand times, or whenever it is needed, to shavepeak-demand from the electric utility. A simulation model will be developed to test the methodology during itsfeasibility assessment and planning stages. The newly developed thermal energy storage system will enhancethe energy management and peak shaving strategies to enable the economic and smart usage of electricity. Thisproject will assist in developing new expertise, new products and promote the efficient and controlledutilization of energy management systems which are expected to be an integral part of the future smart grid.
