Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Sensible thermal energy storages play a large role in the transition towards more sustainable district heating networks. A core question in this regard is the influence of the aspect ratio of height to diameter on the storage performance. To provide reliable answers for large storage systems, a two-dimensional, high-resolution, FEM-based model has been developed and validated using temperature and mass flow data from a reference storage under real operating conditions. Based on this model, a variation of the aspect ratio has been performed. Results show, that a higher aspect ratio provides a benefit in the exergetic performance of the storage system, presumably due to the lower cross-sectional area; thus benefitting thermal stratification.
