PRIN 2022 PNRR “LObSTER”
Title: Towards affordable LOss-free seasonal Thermal enERgy storage for civil applications.
ICCOM Principal Investigator: Angelo Freni.
Project type: National.
Duration: 30/11/2023 – 29/11/2025.
Abstract: The project is focused on the design and lab-scale testing of closed and open sorption-based Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems. The research focuses on four pillars: i) Thermal optimization of TES components, under both closed and open cycle configuration; ii) Composite sorbent optimization and selection suited for seasonal applications; iii) New composite materials synthesis to overcome current storage capacity and durability; iv) Detailed techno-economic and LCA analysis of optimal system configuration.
