Research and development in the field of thermal energy storages (heat and cold storages) has been a main focus at the Chemnitz University of Technology, Chair for Technical Thermodynamics, for many years. On the one hand, storage components are optimised (e.g. charging and discharging systems) or investigated fundamentally (e.g. porous media). On the other hand, the storages need to be integrated optimally into the supply systems in order to ensure the technical, ecological and economical advances. This demands the application of simulation and optimisation tools. Own models and software for storage solutions have been developed for this reason. Apart from the actual development, monitoring of running systems is an important part with regard to control of success and optimisation. Due to this profile, extensive publicly funded research projects and development tasks with industrial partners could be realised.
