Short- and long-term thermal energy storage in a residential setting, new blog by VITO

The energy system of the residential demonstrator in Oud-Heverlee is equipped with different types of hot-water vessels used for thermal energy storage. These storage units offer, combined with the solar collectors, the possibility to increase the production and the self-consumption of locally produced renewable energy. It is evident that mismatches between generation by solar collectors […]

Seminar: Business Models and Regulation for Storage, organized by Vlerick

  The H2020 STORY project demonstrates how energy storage can be used and integrated into current power systems.

In-depth interoperability through embedded connected digital twins, new blog by UCL

A digital twin refers to a digital replica of physical assets (physical twin), processes, people, places, systems and devices that can be used for various purposes. In STORY, its in-depth interoperability architecture positions embedded digital twins between reality and service-providing IT such as the actual controls, monitoring, diagnostics, etc. The digital twin is the sole access […]

Energy savings with model predictive control – The STORY Approach

Energy management is a challenging task. The use of model predictive control (MPC) as a control strategy for energy management has proven to be an effective mechanism and is described as an approach that is based on predictions and is able to provide the most desirable future outcome while taking into account the given constraints […]

STORY at Energy Days 2018 in Vienna

Heribert Vallant from STORY spoke at the “Stationary Energy Storage” conference during the imh Energy Days 2018 in Vienna about measures to protect the energy storage components in the distribution grid against cyber-attacks.The increasing digitization of the energy grid allows criminal hackers to attack the energy system at different levels and to exploit weak points […]

STORY highlight

The ambition to increase the share of renewable energy sources in the energy system inherently leads to several challenges. One of those challenges is the temporal mismatch between the energy demand and the renewable energy production which has an intermittent nature. Energy storage offers the possibility to decouple demand and supply and to add flexibility […]

The promising new regulation for self-consumption in Spain

A few months ago in a previous blog, we illustrated with the example of the Spanish pilot plant of the STORY project as regulation can influence the viability of a renewable plant with energy storage. In recent months, with the change of government, the national energy policy is experiencing important changes among which we must […]
