In general the project is well on-track with the preparations for the demo’s in WP7-8 and the technology developments in WP3-6. Moreover, initial economic analyses have been done in WP2.
In work package WP2 - Modelling and evaluation of the system added value and business opportunities activities have taken place in 4 tasks. D2.1 has been submitted with Results of techno-economic modelling. Business model and commercial deployment roadmap and strategy activities have commenced resulting in delivery of D2.3 Market analysis on hybrid storage components.
In WP3 a smart electric storage heaters with PCM (EHP) and a smart air to air heat pumps with PCM (AHPP) are being developed. The PCM for both systems has been selected based on CFD simulations and experimental work. The final solution for the core geometry has been achieved. For the EHP, the 1st prototype has been assembled and performed test have commenced. Finally, a Dymola model was developed by EDF. Further more the DWH system definition, with the definition of PV/T’s, collectors, number of HPs and water tank have been finished. Definition of the integration of the sizing of DHW subsystem with the CLC unit (WP5), considering the Demo site conditions have been finished as well. Currently the installation of the DHW system in Agen is finalized. The commissioning is planned for March. The system test will start operating in April.
In WP4 D4.1 has been delivered in which multiple battery technologies have been screened on various technical and non-technical aspects. Also D4.2 show the specifications and design of the Electrical Storage System (ESS) is described in detail.
A WP5 results is D5.1.This report describes the preliminary design of the CLC storage system with the definition of several concepts of CLC reactor configurations. Additionally, a detailed analysis of legislation related to hydrogen use in building environment was performed. In parallel task T5.2 - Enhancement of the CLC storage subsystem has been running. A prototype of the CLC reactor has been scaled up and is used to optimize its performance. The prototype was integrated into a test rig and an extensive test campaign is taking place. Self-sustained reduction and oxidation were observed.
a result of WP6 is D6.1. In this document the requirements, a preliminary design and a control strategy for the BEMS are presented. The energy reduction will be applied by managing the energy flows and controlling the storage systems, with a target of 30% energy reduction for Demo A&C and 20% for Demo B. As result of the preliminary design based on the requirements, a BEMS system architecture is defined.
WP7 delivered 3 documents. D7.1 presents the characteristics of the demonstration site located in Gleisdorf, Styria in Austria. In D7.2 the master system breakdown is elaborated from level 0 to level 3. In D7.3 the detailed system design is summarized and described.
In WP8 also resulted in 3 documents. D8.1 presents the characteristics of the demonstration site B located in South of France. In D8.2 the master system breakdown is elaborated for the French demo similar to D7.2. D8.3 provides the current status of the design of the SCORES demonstration B in the south of France (DEMO-B).
In WP9 various activities have been planned and performed to boost dissemination and exploitation of the project results of which deliverables D9.1 Project website, D9.2 Communication and Dissemination Plan, D9.3 Data Management Plan and D9.4 Brochure, rollup poster, project presentation design are proof. A Exploitation Workshop has been organized by Fenix at GA2. The findings are reported in D9.5 Initial Exploitation Plan.
