Experimental Investigations on Charging and Discharging Strategies of Thermal Energy Stores and Their Effect on System Efficiency

A combisystem with four different storage and storage integration concepts was tested under realistic load conditions, using the Concise Cycle Test (CCT) method. The common features of all tested systems are the auxiliary heater and the solar collectors as well as the storage volume. The experiments revealed a considerable range of annual fuel consumption to cover an identical load.
