Minimal Size Thermal and Electrical Energy Storage System for In-Situ Residential Installation
MiniStor (Minimal Size Thermal and Electrical Energy Storage System for In-Situ Residential Installation) is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The MiniStor project aims at designing and producing a novel compact integrated thermal storage system for achieving sustainable heating, cooling and electricity storage that can be adapted to new and existing systems in residential buildings. It is based on high performing thermo-chemical material reaction combined with hot and could PCM. Eighteen partners across the European Union, Switzerland and the UK work together to harness the large potential of EU buildings to increase its energy efficiency performance by providing a new and innovative solution. MiniStor´ system optimizes the use and management of thermal energy by allowing it to be stored, levelling demand peaks and increasing the use of renewables affected by intermittency such as solar-based heating.
The overall objective of the MiniStor project is to design and develop a novel compact, integrated thermal storage system for achieving sustainable heating, cooling and electricity storage that can be adapted to new and existing residential buildings. The system includes an innovative HEMS (Home Energy Management System). The main impacts are: – Energy savings of 40% (conservative scenario based on Impact#3) – Great potential for reducing emissions by integrating RES – Reduction of housing deprivation and air pollution – A property with an EPC of A is worth 11% more than a comparable D-rated one
R2M as exploitation leader will support the consortium to maximize the economic impact of the project results. R2M will guide the partners through a complete results management process, through the analysis of the market and copetitors, up to the development of a business model for the commercial exploitation of the inovative storage system. R2M also actively participates in the support of technical activities and in the analysis of the reference cost for the studio solution.
