Seasonal Storage for Solar Thermal Systems in Australia? (2007)
Submitted by Hans Craen on Tue, 12/29/2009 - 17:17.
This study from 2007 explores the potential for setting up in Australia large centralized solar heating plants with seasonal storage. These are long-term storage systems, which allow energy being collected in summer, and delivered in winter. The study aims to evaluate these systems - which already exist in Europe - in an Australian context.
The study also provides the results of a simulation of a hypothetical system, which has been applied to six cities in Australia. The economic viability of the seasonal storage is the key-obstacle, which is recurrently mentioned regarding the use of this technology.
