Solar Heating with Seasonal Storage Canadian Activities (2011)
This report was created by the Canadian energy research institute CanMET Energy. It is a case study of the Drake Landing Solar Community, and the solar thermal seasonal heat storage system that was tested there.
Seasonal Storage for Solar Thermal Systems in Australia? (2007)
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.
Front-runners of solar district heating
