New Public Deliverables on Modelling, Data and KPIs in LTES

The TREASURE project has published three public deliverables that enhance the knowledge base on integrating large thermal energy storage (LTES) in district heating. Prepared by Carles Ribas Tugores (AEE INTEC) with contributions from other project partners, these insights offer practical guidance for researchers and engineers.

The first, Guidelines on Modelling and Simulation, outlines how conceptual modelling in the opportunity phase can support feasibility studies, guide design strategies, and provide key inputs for techno-economic and environmental evaluations.

The second, Input Data Required and Sources for Simulation Studies on LTES Integration in DH Systems, maps the essential datasets needed to analyse integration concepts, highlighting sources, relevance, and methods to fill common data gaps.

The third, KPIs and KDPs in LTES Systems, distinguishes between design parameters and performance indicators, showing how both are prioritised across project phases. It highlights the value of simulations for estimating KPIs early and aligning evaluation methods across demonstrators.

Together, these resources offer a structured approach to modelling, data acquisition, and system evaluation, supporting more effective LTES integration and knowledge exchange within the energy research community.
