Advanced heat and fluid flow applications in energy systems

We can provide advanced experimental and computational heat and fluid flow activities in the research interests of Call Modules (CMs):

CM 1 - Multi-vector interactions between the integrated energy system and industrial frameworks: Numerical modelling experience of Energy Storage and Heat Interaction via open source (e.g. Python) or commercial (e.g. MATLAB) tools. We can build unique energy models and operate optimization procedures for a specific processes at industry level. In case of available and sufficient amount of reliable data (via companies or industrial stakeholders), we can add data-driven prediction stages into our modelling schemes.

CM 3 - Advanced RE technologies for power production (ROA/IOA): We can bring novel heat transfer medium solutions for high-temperature thermal energy storage systems via our solid expertise in both experimental and optimization stages (e.g. unique flow designs via topology optimization).

In addition, we have already had a background in computational modelling (computational fluid dynamics and thermodynamic modelling) of PFAS-free fluids, so we can take responsibilities in the lab-scale activities ranging from TRL 1 to 4.

CM 6 - Heating and cooling technologies: By using our experimental and computational thermal engineering expertise, we can perform lab-scale research and lab- & pilot-scale modelling activities for above ground heat and cold sources, thermal storage, H&C networks and conversion, and (heat-driven) end-use systems.

CM 8 - Integrated Industrial Energy Systems: We can perform component- and process-level modelling activities that can later integrated into the system level models. Regarding the temperature level of the target industry (e.g. cement, food), our efforts can provide reliable modelling approaches for energy efficient and electrified thermal management solutions in sector coupling efforts, which step through the door of industrial decarbonization.

In case any chance, we can also build lab-scale experimental facilities for the process assessment and optimization.

CM 9 - Clean Energy Integration in the Built Environment: We can contribute to individual technologies of energy recovery ventilation, heat pump, and heat pump water heater with lab- and pilot-level experiments and computational simulations. We currently have a novel energy storage-integrated recovery system in our labs, that can be integrated into any possible collaboration activity.
