DC 14: Performance of EGs connected to small grids for industrial waste storage.
Doctoral Candidate
André Buchmann Müller
Bio
André Buchmann Müller is a hands-on engineer working at the intersection of computational science and building physics. Having recently completed an MSc in Construction Innovation at Universidade de São Paulo and now working towards a PhD at the University of Edinburgh within the GENIUS MSCA Doctoral Network, he researches the thermo-hydraulic performance of energy geostructures for waste heat storage. Before joining GENIUS, he consulted on infrastructure digitalisation at DB Engineering & Consulting and managed complex infrastructure projects for THEMAG Engenharia.
Heat demand and supply are usually not synchronised. Innovative technologies to store the heat are required to balance supply and demand over different timeframes and locations. This project aims to develop a numerical tool to model the performance of EGs connected to small grids for waste heat storage.
Specific Objectives
Develop a TH model to analyse the geothermal performance of EGs for thermal energy storage.
Idealize the small grid operation (waste heat supply, demand and GSHP) and associate to the TH model.
Establish a database of waste heat potential from industrial sectors, demand from residential and commercial buildings.
Exploit the validated model to evaluate the thermal storage/supply potential of EGs connected to small grids.
