A modular phase change material thermal store that enables optimal performance of renewable energy systems (PIPESTORE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"Over the last decade rising energy prices, concerns about global warming and EU energy security have led to increasing interest in domestic scale Renewable Energy Systems (RES) such as solar thermal, heat pumps and biomass technologies. However despite these growth rates, the proportion of RES used for domestic heating and hot water is still under one percent. The main barrier is the high equipme ...
