the MiniStor´ system
MiniStor´ system optimizes the use and management of thermal energy by allowing it to be stored, levelling demand peaks and increasing the use of renewables affected by intermittency such as solar-based heating. The MiniStor system is to be demonstrated and validated in five demonstration sites located in Ireland, France, Greece and Hungary to test its effectiveness at different local climatic conditions.
