Evidence Gathering: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Technologies  For THS there is currently no market as such, as the development of the technology is firmly embedded within academic research at the current point in time. There are also very few demonstration projects proving the technology’s capabilities, thus justifying a TRL of 1-5. Table 19 – Current market status of TES in the UK Application type Intra-day storage Interseasonal storage District Heating Non-domestic Increasing integration of TTES in new No interseasonal applications within DH installations and limited retrofit UK district heating schemes. efforts. Stable and established market for Limited applications with low 10s of water based TTES (10,000s of units). various underground TES for interseasonal heat storage. Domestic Stable and established market for Very few (low 10s) applications of water based TTES (100,000s of units small scale solar / GSHP coupled p.a.). borehole installations. Pilots and early commercial products using PCM. 5.2 Factors affecting future adoption of TES From an isolated technology perspective there should be very little constraint for bringing the majority of the technologies shown in this report to market. Aside from THS, which is primarily developed within the academic and research community, the concepts of the different TES types have been proven in trial projects and some commercialised applications across the UK or at least in other northern European countries. However, to drive the UK TES market further two factors need to be present: a stronger understanding of and confidence in the various technologies beyond hot water tanks and storage heaters; and price signals that enable TES to deliver value to customers.  The crucial cap is economics and upfront costs of different TES technologies – there are few price signals to drive the market (e.g. dynamic electricity pricing). TES would benefit if these signals become more widespread and stronger. This may occur where more intermittent electricity generation is seen in the market.  There are price signals present today for larger-scale generation – for example large CHP feeding district heating networks has some time of use value to the electricity produced. However, they are largely absent at the residential scale – except for Economy 7 tariffs and some emerging business models around flexible demand.  Lastly it can be expected that the number of district heating schemes will grow further (if decarbonisation of heat through electrification scenarios are 66
