Most analyses of long-duration or seasonal energy storage consider a limited set of technologies or neglect low-emission flexible power generation systems altogether. 11, 19, 20 Investigations that focus on flexible power generation technologies to balance renewables often overlook seasonal energy storage. 21 Studies that consider both flexible power …
Because the ice thaws slowly and reaches a higher energy level during melting, heat is stored again for the winter. The ice energy storage system operates even more economically when the electricity required to operate the heat pump is self-produced. At leitec®, photovoltaic modules on the roof provide most of the power.
The building technology company leitec® took a different path: an ice energy storage system provides the necessary energy. WAGO technology controls the interplay among the systems, plus all the building automation. Energy is created when water freezes to form ice.
In particular, deterministic and stochastic effects of ice storage on the performance and efficiency of the studied energy hub is investigated in four different case studies. The objective is to fill the gap that exists in the literature on the investigation of ice storage performance in the energy hub concept.
Users of the technology include leitec® Gebäudetechnik GmbH, a full service energy and building technology provider, headquartered in Heilbad Heiligenstadt in Thuringia. Their ice energy storage system, consisting of an underground cement tank ten meters in diameter and six meters deep, holds up to 400,000 liters of water.
These are the following operating modes: heating using the ice energy storage system, heating using the solar thermal collectors installed on the roof next to the photovoltaic modules, cooling the ice energy storage system, regeneration using the solar collectors and cooling with the heat pump.
Their ice energy storage system, consisting of an underground cement tank ten meters in diameter and six meters deep, holds up to 400,000 liters of water. “The system works quite well,” says Bernd Apitz, CEO and owner of leitec®. “We were among the first companies to build an ice energy storage system of this magnitude.”
