TCM Storage System Prototype in Container for integration in a single familiy house

The picture is showing a TCM storage system with 3 moduels in combination with a heat pump system and 2 m³ buffer storage installed in a container as complete storage system. The container is shipped to a single familiy housein Warsaw and installed next to the house to store surplus of solar thermal energy from summer and provide space heating in winter

Overview Task 58 for Material and Component Development for Compact Thermal Storage Systems

The figur shows the overview and contents of the IEA SHC Task 58 for material and component development for compact heat storage. The task is divided into 4 subtasks dealing with the definition of boundary conditions, development of TCM and PCM materials, test methods and component design of compact heat storage systems.

Solar heat in smart cities

List of the main advantages of solar heat: it is emission-free and 100% renewable, it increases the energy security, the price is affordable and remains stable for at least 20 years, it replaces imported fueld and provide new jobs.

Attractiveness of SDH markets

Diagram with 4 areas according to DH technology readiness (low/high) and SDH market (small/large). Low readiness and small market is the case of Russia and Ukraine; low readiness and large market is the case of China; high readiness and small market is the case of France, Italy, Netherlands, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Canada, Latvia; high readiness and high market is the case of Germany, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, which are technology leaders and role models.

Solar district heating system with power-to-heat

District heating system with heat supply from central solar collectors, industrial waste heat, heating centre, heat pump, and with short-term and seasonal thermal storage. Source of the heat pump is the saisonal storage. Excess power from PV and wind turbines is used to operate the heat pump.

life cycle cost

Lines showing the smallest difference in life-cycle costs per non-renewable primary energy unit and HVAC configuration at office buildings in Stockholm (Sto), Stuttgart (Stu) and Rome. LCC includes investment, maintenance and operation over a 20-year period. HP stands for heat pump and DE for direct electric.

Pit thermal energy storage in Dronninglund (DK)

The pit thermal energy storage of 60,000 m3 in Dronninglund, Denmark, stores heat coming from a solar thermal field and a heat pump.

Diagram of the Flexible Sector Coupling model.

The electric energy system is composed of the sectors electricity, mobility and heat. Generated electricity is directed to the sectors mobility and heat along the pathways thermal energy, fuels and electricity.

IEA ES Task 45 experts alongside the Hechingen pit thermal energy storage

The pit storage in Hechingen, Germany, i already dug out. It will be finished and connected to the district heating system of Hechingen in 2025.

Greening concept of the School at Kinkplatz

In addition to the climate and energy concept and the utilisation concept, effective synergies are created with greening measures on the façade, on the roof and in the interior. With innovative and coordinated integration of vegetation, the performance potential of building optimisation and energy measures can be increased.

Vertical farming concept for the School at Kinkplatz

During the exploratory project, the idea arose to use the school at Kinkplatz as a training centre for future urban farmers or vertical farmers. Special significance is attributed to the possibility of seeing food production as a central component of an overarching typological further development of the existing building as a training centre for urban vertical farming. This gives the school at Kinkplatz a unique selling point worldwide.

The former School at Kinkplatz at Night

Helmut Richter's school at Kinkplatz serves as a demonstration project for the GreenTech-Renovation exploratory project, as this building is a prime example of how topics can be dealt with in terms of sensible energy renovation.

Benefits of energy-efficient refurbishment using the example of the school at Kinkplatz

The transferability of the project helps to accelerate the renovation wave and focuses particularly on difficult buildings with high energy consumption. The strategies and findings from GreenTech-Renovation can be transferred to all buildings dating from the last 70 years with high proportions of glass and with intelligent adaptations even further.

Axonometry architectural study in the project "Reallabor Gebäude - Gebäude als Reallabor für klimaneutrales, bedarfsgerechtes und leistbares Wohnen"

The illustration shows an excerpt from the architectural study that was carried out as part of the project "Reallabor Gebäude - Gebäude als Reallabor für klimaneutrales, bedarfsgerechtes und leistbares Wohnen". This is a refurbishment project including an extension.
