About

Electrified thermal energy storage systems are required to allow powerto-heat solutions that can be used both as a decarbonization tool and as a grid capacity asset to manage highly variable renewable energy sources. UPM has developed a patented concept consisting in an induction heating packed bed thermal energy storage system, where the storage can be charged by induction. Such a device can be used with different fillers, such as magnetite, but also probably with some slag materials. The proposed postdoctoral research project would consist in the development of a numeric model to evaluate the induction heating performance for different materials, in addition to a technoeconomic and environmental impact assessment of the device. Experience in thermal modelling, CFD and FEM is encouraged.
