Evidence Gathering: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Technologies improvement can take several years, therefore step-change improvements are likely in the future. Key barriers to deployment One of the key barriers for PTES (and to an extent other underground heat storage solutions such as BTES) is the lack of interest in ground source heat pump solar replenishment and the resulting relatively low uptake of large solar thermal collectors in the UK. Solar thermal collectors are the primary heat source for PTES applications carried out to-date in Europe, thus given their low deployment, projects are unlikely to be pursued in the UK at the current point in time. A key barrier in the development of solar thermal plus PTES applications is the upfront investment required to realise projects. In general, for PTES and other large scale interseasonal storage solutions the cost / benefit of a specific application is based on a twofold evaluation of a project’s financial proposition and CO2 reduction potential. Thus the sense of installing solar thermal plus PTES projects will likely be based not only on the financial proposition, but could be supported by carbon reduction ambitions. However, to analyse whether a project ‘makes sense’ on both a financial and carbon reduction basis, robust evaluation tools are required. There is a lack of established tools for design and evaluation for PTES (Solites, 2012), which adds further barriers to deployment. Despite the engineering capability potentially being available, it is unlikely that PTES will be pursued on a commercial basis in the UK. Aside from the lack of solar thermal district heating in the UK, there are some specific technology challenges for PTES such as the performance of materials used for liners. Lastly there are also substantial space requirements for PTES applications, which means that land costs and space constraints can become a barrier to deployment. 44PDF Image | Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Technologies
