6 FAQs about [China-europe solar energy storage heating]
Why do solar thermal systems need to be installed in Europe?
In brief, solar thermal systems installed in Europe have a combined energy storage capacity 20 times higher than the total power storage capacity available. Storage capacity is essential for the flexibility of the energy system. The heat demand in Europe is more than double of the power demand and on top of that as much more extreme peaks.
Why is solar energy so important in Europe?
The heat demand in Europe is more than double of the power demand and on top of that as much more extreme peaks. The fact that every solar thermal system integrates, by default, storage capacity is a major added value to the energy system. There are millions of small thermal energy storage units in European households.
How many thermal energy storage units are there in Europe?
There are millions of small thermal energy storage units in European households. One of this storage units with a volume of 300 litres has an energy storage capacity of 22.5 kWhth. In addition, large scale thermal energy stores can provide additional flexibility to the energy system, as they can provide also seasonal storage.
How do solar thermal systems work in China?
In China, large-scale solar thermal systems for space heating and industry process heat just started in recent years. Projects mainly rely on subsidies from the government at the current stage. For example, the Langkazi Tibet Solar Heating project (see Section 6.2) is 100% subsidized by the central government.
What is the energy storage capacity of solar thermal systems?
In comparison the total electric storage capacity by the end of 2021 amounts to 8.3 GWh4. In brief, solar thermal systems installed in Europe have a combined energy storage capacity 20 times higher than the total power storage capacity available. Storage capacity is essential for the flexibility of the energy system.
How much solar heat will Europe have by 2030?
By 2030, solar heat can reach 140 GWth in the building segment, which corresponds to 0,3 kWth per EU citizen. This level of deployment is equivalent to what is currently the solar thermal installed capacity per capita in Austria. In addition, solar thermal could grow much more in large scale systems for district heating or industrial process heat.
