Abstract
Work program on the project Technologies for the storage of thermal energy on micro and macro scale is substantially devided into three parts:
First part of the program is intended to analyse thermal storages from heat transfer, heat and mass transfer and thermodynamic point of view. Research on short-term heat storage will be made on sensible storages filled with water and/or rocks and latent storages (filled with phase change material PCM), where nowadays we have most attention. Long-term heat storages researches will include fundamental analysis of boreholes and aquifers.
Second part of the program is intended to use software tools for solving thermal storage problems. PHOENICS software will be used as a micro scale tool. It is intended to analyse heat and mass transfer in heat storage elements. PHYSIBEL program will be used for calculation of temperature fields of long therm heat storages. And TRNSYS software will be used for the analysis on macro scale because enables simulations of entire thermal storage.
Third part of the program is intended to analyse thermal storage integration into the systems (buildings). In this part we will simulate operation of short and long-term thermal storages in buildings for heating and hot water preparation. We will found out which kind of thermal storages are suitable for using in the district of Slovenia.
