Overview

As part of the energy turnaround, the production and consumption of heat and electricity must be increasingly decoupled. The goal of this project is to analyze, model and develop optimum design criteria for the combination of a heat pump and an innovative thermal (technical) energy storage system for buildings (for heating and heating service water). A functional model is used for the experimental verification of the model.
