Thermal Energy Storage with Heat Pumps for Power Grid Optimization

Stash Energy目前正在与Summerside Electric合作开发一种储能技术，Summerside Electric是爱德华王子岛的一家电力公司，在北美拥有最高的风能整合水平。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），这有许多挑战，可能会限制产品的增长。因此，需要进一步的研究来改进技术。在渥太华大学化学与生物工程系的F. Handan Tezel博士的能源智能实验室，在Stash的能源存储系统中，提出了探索能源存储的替代方法。这项研究将有助于Stash能源开发他们的下一个产品线。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大大减少加拿大的温室气体（GHG），如果在国际上实施，在世界各地。

Stash Energy is currently working on an energy storage technology in collaboration with Summerside Electric,which is a power utility in Prince Edward Island with the highest level of integration of wind energy in NorthAmerica. They have already shown evidence of scalability and commercial viability of this technology. Thisenergy storage system uses phase change materials (PCM) which has many challenges that may restrict theproduct's growth. 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 inthe Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at University of Ottawa, in Stash's energy storagesystem. This research will assist Stash Energy in developing their next line of products. In turn, Stash Energywill be better positioned to have a significant impact and to expand their market share in Canada andinternationally, which will also generate jobs for scientists, engineers, and technicians in Canada. Thedevelopment of this technology has a potential to substantially reduce the greenhouse gases (GHG) in Canadaand if implemented internationally, all over the world.
