SUMMARY:Webinar: RESTORE Virtual Tool and modelling of Use-Cases
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, September 19\, 2024 \n\nTime: 10:00 – 12:00 (CEST) \nREGISTER NOWAbout this webinar:\nIn this second webinar of the RESTORE project\, learn about the innovative RESTORE virtual tool designed to optimize and simulate the RESTORE system. Developed using SimTech’s advanced simulation tools\, IPSEpro and IPSE GO\, this tool allows for detailed virtual implementation of the RESTORE concept. A specialized model library\, RESTORE_Lib\, has been created to model individual components of the RESTORE system. This library includes models for both RESTORE key technologies: Thermochemical Energy Storage and the reversible Organic Rankine Cycle. \nSix virtual Use-Cases have been defined for the project to demonstrate the capability of the RESTORE concept in scaled-up scenarios under different boundary conditions. In this webinar\, we will present two of these virtual Use-Cases: \n– Use-Case I: Brønderslev\, Denmark – This case applies the RESTORE concept to an existing combined heat and power unit in Brønderslev\, which includes a Concentrated Solar Power plant\, a biomass-fired Organic Rankine Cycle power plant\, and heat pumps. \n– Use-Case VI: Politecnico di Milano\, Milan\, Italy – This case focuses on an existing small District Heating and Cooling network at the Politecnico di Milano campus\, representative of small\, decentralized solutions. \nThis webinar will offer insights into the specific conditions and potential integration of RESTORE technology into real-world plants using the RESTORE virtual tool. By enabling comprehensive system simulations\, the tool highlights how RESTORE technology can contribute to decarbonizing the heating and cooling sector across various configurations. \nQ/A Session: This webinar will include a 20-minute Q/A session and a recording of the webinar will be available on the RESTORE YouTube channel afterwards. The recording of the previous RESTORE-webinar is available here. \nThis webinar is organized and hosted by the Steinbeis Research Institute for Solar and Sustainable Thermal Energy Systems Solites. \nSpeakers:\nMarkus Perz (SimTech GmbH) \n \nMarkus Perz is a Software Engineer at SimTech GmbH\, where he leads the software development and product innovation for the IPSE GO platform.
