A common challenge when trying to bring innovative technologies from lab to market is navigating an under-defined regulatory framework that is not clear enough to ensure a smooth demonstration in the whole EU territory. This is indeed the case on Thermal Energy Storage (TES).
Energy storage is still widely conceived as just electric energy storage, and this specific sector of energy storage has already well defined regulations and general guidelines at both EU and country level. However, there are not clear regulations specific to Thermal Energy Storage, so it is necessary to understand the relevant existing regulations and guides that should be somehow taken into consideration when installing this kind of technology. |

The BEST-Storage project is testing advanced energy storage systems at sites across Europe, carefully selected to reflect different climates and building types. This approach allows the project to evaluate the solutions under various conditions, making the findings widely applicable. The project includes three real demo sites, one simulated demo, and virtual cases to cover additional building types and climates across Europe. In this article, we will take a closer look at the characteristics of the three real demonstration cases of the project.
