Thermal energy storage (TES) helps to reduce energy consumption and peak demands by balancing heat supply and demand on all time scales from short-term to seasonal. Thus, TES is an important technology to improve flexibility and efficiency of energy systems. In particular, adsorption TES systems, which exploit the enthalpy of adsorption, provide high energy storage density and high efficiency. The present thesis therefore analyzes an adsorption TES unit for residential and industrial applications. Industrial energy supply can be made more efficient by integrating waste heat into the process heat supply and by using energy-efficient technologies. Adsorption TES contributes to both approaches: waste heat can be integrated via the heat pump effect and TES allows for energy-efficient cogeneration heat supply for batch processes.
