    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : IVA PAPIC; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As the global renewable energy penetration increases, energy storage technologies are being rapidly deployed to compensate for the intermittency and non-dispatchability of variable energy resources. Storage solutions play a crucial role in providing reliability and flexibility, but their growth is subject to a number of barriers. READ MORE

  6. 5. Azelio’s Thermal Battery for Combined Heat and Power : A Thermo-economic and Market Research Study

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Martin Lantz; [2020]
    Keywords : Carnot battery systems; thermal energy storage; techno economic analysis; market review;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to assess the market opportunities for two novel Carnot battery system solutions, one supplying power and low temperature heat as well as a system supplying medium temperature heat exclusively. To fulfill the objective, a methodology was developed and implemented to investigate the market potential, further two techno-economic models were developed and utilized to investigate the performance of such Carnot battery solutions.
