Thermal energy storage for heat pumps

Stash Energy目前正在与几家公用事业公司（包括Hydro Ottawa， Maritime Electric, Saint John Energy）合作开发储能技术。他们还获得了来自Summerside Electric的投资，这是一家位于爱德华王子岛的电力公司，在北美拥有最高水平的风能整合。他们已经证明了这种技术的可扩展性和商业可行性。这种储能系统使用相变材料（PCM），这带来了许多挑战，限制了它的使用。因此，需要进一步的研究来改进技术。**建议在渥太华大学化学与生物工程系**的F. Handan Tezel博士的能源- smart实验室中，在Stash的储能**系统中探索储能的替代方法。在成功完成NSERC Engage项目后，Tezel博士希望通过拟议的NSERC Engage Plus提案继续与Stash Energy合作，以优化拟议的热泵设计**，并结合吸附式热能储存能力。他们正在申请更多的资金来建造一个原型，并将这项技术商业化，根据设计，将在这个Engage Plus项目中完成。这项研究将帮助Stash能源公司开发他们的下一个产品系列。反过来，Stash Energy将更好地定位于产生重大影响，扩大他们在加拿大和国际上的市场份额，这也将为加拿大的科学家、工程师和技术人员创造就业机会。这项技术的发展有可能取代现有技术；和**从而减少目前加拿大工业排放的温室气体量，如果**在国际上实施，在全世界范围内。

Stash Energy is currently working on an energy storage technology in collaboration with several utilities**including Hydro Ottawa, Maritime Electric, Saint John Energy. They have also received investment from**Summerside Electric, a power utility in Prince Edward Island with the highest level of integration of wind**energy in North America. They have already shown evidence of scalability and commercial viability of this**technology. This energy storage system uses phase-change materials (PCM) that pose many challenges, which**restrict its use. Therefore, further research is required to improve the technology.**It is proposed to explore alternative methods of energy storage in Dr. F. Handan Tezel's Energy-SMART lab in**the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at University of Ottawa, in Stash's energy storage**system. After the successful completion of the NSERC Engage project, Dr. Tezel wants to continue her**collaboration with Stash Energy through this proposed NSERC Engage Plus proposal for the optimum design**of the proposed heat pump combined with adsorption thermal energy storage capability. They are applying for**more funds to build a prototype and commercialize this technology, according to the design that will be**finalized during this Engage Plus project. This research will assist Stash Energy in developing their next line**of products. In turn, Stash Energy will be better positioned to have a significant impact and to expand their**market share in Canada and internationally, which will also generate jobs for scientists, engineers, and**technicians in Canada. The development of this technology has a potential to replace existing technology; and**thereby reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are currently emitted by the industry in Canada and if**implemented internationally, all over the world.
