Mechanical energy storage solutions often serve expedient purposes on building project sites. For example, construction workers already harness compressed air to power pneumatic tools such as jackhammers, drills, grinders and sanders.
Zhang et al. compared the performance of different storage capacity-based and priority-based control strategies for an HVAC system combined with a TES. They concluded that while the full storage control technique is superior for the summer, the storage-priority strategy is appropriate for winter.
TES can be applied both for the cooling and heating of buildings . There are three ways of thermal energy storage by TES: sensible heat, latent heat and chemical reactions. From a practical point of view, latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) is the most often investigated method of thermal energy storage in the last two decades .
NREL is significantly advancing the viability of thermal energy storage (TES) as a building decarbonization resource for a highly renewable energy future. Through industry partnerships, NREL researchers address technical barriers to deployment and widespread adoption of thermal energy storage in buildings.
Energy storage is a cornerstone of the sustainable energy future we envision. By integrating advanced storage solutions into buildings, we can enhance energy efficiency, increase the use of renewable energy, and create resilient energy systems.
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.
This paper introduces the recent developments in Renewable Energy Systems for building heating, cooling and electricity production with thermal energy storage.
