project description

Project description:The Supercooled Salt Hydrate-Based Heat Battery System project, part of TKI Urban Energy, is an ongoing initiative that builds upon the successes of the SMARTHEAT project, focusing on advanced thermal energy storage solutions for household applications. This project leverages supercooled salt hydrates to create a heat battery system designed for short- to medium-term storage rather than seasonal use. By maintaining a metastable supercooled state and improving stabilization techniques, the system enables efficient and flexible heat storage for everyday needs.This technology allows households to store excess heat generated from renewable sources, such as solar thermal energy, or waste heat during low-demand periods and use it when needed, such as during peak hours. The supercooled salt hydrates ensure high energy density and minimal heat loss, providing a reliable and sustainable solution for domestic energy management. By reducing reliance on conventional heating methods, this project contributes to lower energy costs and carbon emissions. Targeted at residential applications, this project supports the transition to low-carbon home energy systems, enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability.
