Northern solar energy storage boiler

What is a storage boiler?

Unlike traditional boilers that rely on fossil fuels, our Storage Boilers use straightforward electric elements. With no combustion and few moving parts, the technology is designed to deliver the reliability needed at factories and hospitals. This simplicity also means servicing requirements are kept to a minimum.

What is seasonal thermal energy storage (STES)?

The applications of seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) facilitate the replacement of fossil fuel-based heat supply by alternative heat sources, such as solar thermal energy, geothermal energy, and waste heat generated from industries.

Why should you choose a caldera storage boiler?

This simplicity also means servicing requirements are kept to a minimum. The modularity of the system means it is suitable for a wide range of applications. The heat cell is the enabling innovation in every Caldera Storage Boiler, allowing intermittent renewable energy to be converted into on-demand heat.

Does seasonal thermal energy storage provide economic competitiveness against existing heating options?

Revelation of economic competitiveness of STES against existing heating options. Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) holds great promise for storing summer heat for winter use. It allows renewable resources to meet the seasonal heat demand without resorting to fossil-based back up. This paper presents a techno-economic literature review of STES.

Which aquifer thermal energy storage is economically competitive?

Compared to the reference heating alternatives, i.e., natural gas and solar heating for decentralized systems, only pit and low-temperature aquifer thermal energy storage is economically competitive. The LCOH of latent heat storage is the highest.

How much does a natural gas boiler cost?

During the calculation of the natural gas boiler, the European average price of natural gas in 2019 is applied, which is 17.47 €/GJ for residential purposes . In terms of solar heating, the specific cost of solar collectors is in accordance with the average number of examined projects in this study (380 €/m 2).
