Efficient temperature estimation for thermally stratified storage tanks with buoyancy and mixing effects

Estimating the state thermal storage devices is key to use them efficiently to reduce the uncertainty of renewable sources. Although stratified storage tanks are one of the most efficient and cost-effective storage systems, they lack accurate state estimation methods. In this paper, we propose a general methodology for estimating the state of...

Building day-ahead bidding functions for seasonal storage systems: A reinforcement learning approach

Due to the increasing integration of renewable sources in the electrical grid, electricity generation is expected to become more uncertain. In this context, seasonal thermal energy storage systems (STESSs) are key to shift the delivery of renewable energy sources and tackle their uncertainty problems. In this paper, we propose an optimal...
