Development of a solar energy storage plant to increase the efficiency and capacity of a solar system for the production of hot water

Solar energy is a clean, abundant and easily accessible renewable energy source. The dynamic nature of solar energy makes thermal energy storage systems extremely valuable for many applications. Storing latent heat using phase-change materials (STDs) is particularly suitable for solar energy hot water production applications, since it offers high storage density and heat transmission at an almost constant temperature. The hot water storage tank is the “heart” of any system for producing hot water from solar energy. For these tanks it is very important to create and maintain stratification bot…

About the Research, technological development and innovation objective

Thematic Objective 1 of the 2014–2020 Cohesion period funds research, technological development and innovation. It supports R&D infrastructure, technology transfer, business-academia partnerships and pilot lines that close the gap between scientific discovery and market application across EU regions.

Co-funding: the EU contributes €168k toward a total project cost of €198k — a co-funding rate of 85%, with the remainder covered by national, regional or private sources.

Kohesio is the European Commission's open-data platform for projects co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund and the Just Transition Fund. It draws on lists of beneficiaries published by national managing authorities and harmonises them into a single EU-wide view.
