Abstract
Performance of TES is influenced by various factors such as location, construction type, size, geometry, storage medium, and used materials. Furthermore, TES are integrated in heating and cooling systems with a great variety of system configurations and control and operation strategies. Boundary conditions also influence the energetic and exergetic efficiency of TES. Hence, for a realistic comparison system simulations are required, which include all sensitive parameters (Ochs et al. 2009).
