Накратко на български
Термопомпните енергийни системи (т.нар. „батерии на Карно“) се анализират чрез моделиране, за да се установи коя конфигурация е най-ефективна при работа с вятърна и слънчева енергия. Това помага за стабилизирането на електромрежата и по-лесното преминаване към възобновяеми източници.

Цел на проекта
The transition to a net-zero energy system strongly depends on large-scale, flexible storage solutions to balance renewable variability and maintain grid stability. Existing options like pumped hydro and batteries face geographical, safety, cost, and sustainability constraints. Pumped Thermal Energy Storage (PTES), also known as Carnot batteries, is a promising alternative thanks to its scalability, long lifetime, and reliance on mature components. However, the literature reports many different PTES configurations with widely varying efficiencies, creating uncertainty about their real potential for deployment. The DRIVE-PTES project will develop the first systematic framework to evaluate PTES viability in high-renewable grids. Transient models of different PTES layouts will be built under common assumptions and tested in representative European grid scenarios—solar, wind, and mixed systems. Alongside thermodynamic and dynamic modelling, techno-economic optimisation will be conducted to assess cost-effectiveness and identify trade-offs between efficiency, flexibility, and capacity. The approach is strongly interdisciplinary, integrating thermodynamics, control and electrical engineering, and economics, and benefits from intersectoral links between academia and industry. The project will benchmark PTES integration to the grid, clarify achievable round-trip efficiencies and responsivity, and identify the most promising configurations. Results will reduce uncertainty, guide demonstration projects, and inform stakeholders and policymakers, contributing directly to the European Green Deal and SDG7. The fellowship at UPM under Prof. Rubén Abbas, with secondment at Polimi under Prof. Giampaolo Manzolini, will build on strong expertise in thermal energy systems modelling and techno-economic assessment. It will equip me with advanced skills and networks to become an independent researcher, lead interdisciplinary projects, and contribute to Europe’s clean energy transition.
