Due to the continually increasing amount of renewable energy within the power grid, in particular in countries of the European Union, a huge demand for storage capacities develops that can hardly be met by large-scale systems alone.
Space heating and cooling account for up to 40% of the energy used in commercial buildings.1 Aligning this energy consumption with renewable energy generation through practical and viable energy storage solutions will be critical to achieving 100% clean energy by 2050.
For example, in August 2023, Colorado’s Air Quality Control Commission3 established new energy performance standards for buildings 50,000 square feet and larger to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas pollution. Additionally, the overall energy demand for heating and cooling in commercial buildings is expected to increase in the coming years.
Thermal energy storage (TES) is one of several approaches to support the electrification and decarbonization of buildings. To electrify buildings eficiently, electrically powered heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment such as a heat pump can be integrated with TES systems.
An evaluation of the economic feasibility identifies possible approaches to generate income from storage operation. The usage of exhaust heat for heating proves to significantly support the business case by providing a considerable financial contribution that is usually not exploitable for centralised storage units.
Integrating a TES system in a commercial building may require new or changes to existing chillers, hardware, plumbing, and more. When using ice storage, a new chiller may be required to reach the temperature required to freeze water. Additional plumbing may also be needed to connect the components, which may require further sensors and pumps.
