Evidence Gathering: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Technologies customers are neither strong nor dynamic enough to extract significant value from thermal storage. Additional value could be extracted from district heating schemes with CHP (electricity production) or heat pumps (electricity consumption), as well as large commercial demands also using these technologies. Uptake of renewable heating technologies The uptake of renewable heating technologies in the residential, commercial and district heating sector remains limited compared to the overall market of conventional heating systems such as gas boilers. TES can be an enabler for these technologies – and so the widespread deployment of TES is also dependent on their increasing uptake. Intelligent control systems for renewable heating technologies may reduce the opportunity for TES as they help to match heat generation to heat demand, and provide some flexibility for timing of heat production. But overall intelligent controls are driving TES applications, as intelligently controlled TES will likely help maximise flexibility and matching of heat generation and heat demand. Large tanks, boreholes, pits and aquifers have all been piloted for interseasonal storage of solar thermal heat and passive solar. Thus, the uptake of solar thermal technologies is crucial to enable growth of interseasonal storage. The use of ‘ground source air conditioning’ and interseasonal storage of solar heat may also grow significantly if future building regulations were to require close to zero-carbon buildings. System integration The integration of TES into existing heating systems and for new installations can prove difficult on a number of levels – such as space constraints, installation challenges and control elements. System integration is an issue for both small residential systems and larger scale storage projects. Heating system integration and installation For retrofit installations of domestic, commercial and district heating applications there is an inherent difficulty to integrate TES with an existing system without any existing storage capability. Often this adds additional installation requirements that may add complexity and cost. Secondly, and often more significant is the integration of an intelligent control system for optimising the operation of the system with a thermal store. Space constraints Specifically for small water cylinders in the residential space and for small commercial buildings, the growing penetration of combination boilers could prove a barrier for thermal storage. With many new residential houses using combi boilers, no space for thermal storage is incorporated into the design of the buildings. Therefore, this may potentially rule out the future potential for these houses to be retrofitted with renewable heating technologies requiring heat storage. As space comes as a premium in most UK cities, the integration of thermal stores into energy centres of large buildings is often a key constraint for TES.
