2. 1. Integrating Latent Heat Storage into Residential Heating Systems : A study from material and component characterization to system analysis

   Author : Tianhao Xu; Samer Sawalha; Björn Palm; Justin NingWei Chiu; Tianshu GE; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase change material; thermal energy storage; heat pump; load shifting; space heating; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems can be coupled with heat pump (HP) systems to realize heat load shifting on demand side. With phase change material (PCM), well designed LHTES components exhibit high storage energy density and thus have large potentials to be integrated in residence where a compact energy storage solution is needed.

4. 2. Prediction of power and energy use in dwellings : Addressing apects of thermal mass and occupant behaviour

   Author : Victor Fransson; Avdelningen för Installations- och klimatiseringslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggnadssimulering; Termisk massa; Värmetröghet; boendes beteende; hushållsel; varmvatten; building simulation; thermal mass; thermal inertia; occupant behaviour; household electricity; domestic hot water;

   Abstract : Households are responsible for approximately 26 % of the annual energy use in the EU. Following the EU-directives regarding energy performance in buildings, international initiatives have been taken in Europe to help countries to define and include guidelines in their own building codes, for example, to establish the concept of zero energy buildings, ZEBs.

5. 3. Load Shifting and Storage of Cooling Energy through Ice Bank or Ice Slurry Systems : modelling and experimental analysis

   Author : Marino Grozdek; Per Gunnar Lundqvist; Michael Kauffeld; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; refrigeration systems; cool thermal energy storage system; ice; modelling; simulation; field measurement; experiment; indirect system; ice-on-coil system; external melt; ice slurry; homogeneous storage; heterogeneous storage; Thermal energy engineering; Termisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : Ice based Cool Thermal Energy Storage (CTES) systems have attracted much attention during last few decades. The reasons are mainly of economical and environmental nature. READ MORE

6. 4. Sustainable building ventilation solutions with heat recovery from waste heat

   Author : Behrouz Nourozi; Sture Holmberg; Adnan Ploskic; Qian Wang; Shia-Hui Peng; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wastewater heat recovery; balanced mechanical ventilation; defrosting reduction; heat recovery efficiency; thermal load shifting; renewables; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : The energy used by building sector accounts for approximately 40% of the total energy usage. In residential buildings, 30-60% of this energy is used for space heating which is mainly wasted by transmission heat losses. A share of 20-30% is lost by the discarded residential wastewater and the rest is devoted to ventilation heat loss. READ MORE

7. 5. Smart Energy Grids – Utilization of Space Heating Flexibility
