THUMBS UP aimsto develop and demonstrate thermal energy storage (TES) at daily (based on environmental friendly PCM) and weekly level (based on TCM sorption technology) solutions to be easily integrated in EU buildings (both connected and not-connected to DHN) to increase their energy efficiency as well as to exploit Power-to-Heat (PtH) approaches also to make EU Buildings as grid flexibility actors. THUMBS UP wants to overcome all the limits of state-of-the-art building-integrated PCM and TCM TES technologies, increasing TES energy density and reducing CAPEX. THUMBS UP innovates at different levels, from modelling to materials and enhance heat exchanger solutions, targeting demonstration at TRL 7. High-performance TES solutions part of an EU sustainable economy is a factor at the core of THUMBS UP. The project develops truly i) bio-based PCMs from raw materials currently wasted in the EU food industry, turning them into valuable TES materials and ii) TCMs relying exclusively on non-hazardous materials and on water as working fluid. THUMBS UP TES will be demonstrated in 3 demosites (a single-family building in Spain and 2 multi-family buildings in Sweden/ Spain) in different EU climates and energy market contexts also to assess THUMBS UP replication potential in two replication sites (ITA, NL). Via its demonstration and replication campaign, THUMBS UP promotes TES role as key enabling technology to optimize thermal comfort and energy efficiency in buildings as well as to promote PtH as facilitator of RES grid integration in a sector coupling approach, to be studied via innovative modelling tools. THUMBS UP gives specific attention to how to fully integrate TES solutions into buildings and widersmart energy networks by combining the technology advancements with TES-tailored digital innovations. THUMBS UP widens the capability to control, monitor and forecasts how to operate building-integrated TES systems to provide services toward both the H&C and power sector.

竖起大拇指旨在开发和展示每日(基于环保的PCM)和每周(基于中药吸收技术)的热能存储(TES)解决方案，这些解决方案可以轻松集成到欧盟建筑中(包括连接和未连接到DHN)，以提高它们的能效，并利用电力转换(PTH)方法，使欧盟建筑成为电网灵活性参与者。大拇指想要克服最先进的建筑-集成PCM和中药TES技术的所有限制，增加TES的能量密度并降低资本支出。竖起大拇指在不同层面进行创新，从建模到材料和增强热交换器解决方案，目标是在TRL 7上进行演示。高性能的TES解决方案是欧盟可持续经济的一部分，是竖起大拇指的核心因素。该项目真正开发了i)生物相变材料，将目前欧盟食品工业中浪费的原材料转化为有价值的TES材料，以及ii)完全依赖于无害材料和水作为工作液的TCM。在不同的欧盟气候和能源市场环境下，将在3个示范点(西班牙的一个独栋建筑和瑞典/西班牙的2个多户建筑)展示竖起大拇指的TES，并评估两个复制地点(ITA和NL)的竖起大拇指的复制潜力。通过其示范和推广活动，Ups Up Up促进了TES作为关键使能技术的作用，以优化建筑的热舒适性和能源效率，并促进PTH作为部门耦合方法中RES网格集成的促进者，将通过创新的建模工具进行研究。拇指向上特别关注如何通过将技术进步与TES量身定制的数字创新相结合，将TES解决方案完全集成到建筑和更广泛的智能能源网络中。竖起大拇指扩大了控制、监测和预测如何操作建筑物集成的TES系统的能力，以向H&C和电力部门提供服务。
