Monday, 22 December 2008 |
More than half of the primary energy consumption is for the generation of heat. Thermal energy storage is of key importance for energy reduction technologies and for increasing the share of renewables in the thermal energy consumption.
It is from this discussion statement that Dr.Wim van Helden from the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) will lead on 23rd January 2009 a "webinar" dedicated to "Compact Thermal Energy Storage Technologies: Status, Applications and Developments".
An overview will be given of three classes of compact thermal energy storage: phase change material, sorption and thermochemical storage. The principles of the technologies will be explained, examples of their applications will be given and the research and development challenges described that are needed for their respective routes to the markets.
