    Media: Innovation accelerator Eindhoven Engine enters new phase

    As a society, we face numerous challenges. At Eindhoven Engine, a collaborative program between companies, knowledge institutions, social organizations and citizens in the Brainport region, work has been going on for years on innovations to address these problems. Now the program is breaking new ground.

    Media: ‘Slim schuurtje’ voorziet gebouwen het hele jaar door van energie (DUTCH)

    Op de TU/e Campus in Eindhoven werken twee startups aan een nieuwe ontwikkeling die de energietransitie moet helpen versnellen. De startups combineren zogeheten warmtegevelpanelen met slimme energieopslag in de vorm van een berging; de zogeheten Smart Heat Shed.

    Daardoor is bijvoorbeeld ook ‘s winters voldoende energie beschikbaar om een woning of kantoorpand te verwarmen. Om het systeem verder te verbeteren is een proefopstelling gebouwd op de TU/e Campus. Het project is één van 28 projecten van innovatieaccelerator Eindhoven Engine en is mede mogelijk gemaakt door Regio Deal Brainport Eindhoven.

    Start year 2020

    About the project

    The iHeat@Home project contributes to a breakthrough innovation in thermal energy storage: a heat battery which is better, cheaper, smaller and greener than any competitor. This will accelerate the energy transition, promote the development of renewable energy sources, reduce grid investments and create new business. This is all happening here in the Brainport region.

    iHeat@Home focuses on solutions for real-time data on the heat battery’s state-of-charge and its optimal data management, with three coherent solutions:

    1. The basis for a sensor which is robust and cheap
    2. Communication protocols and data managemen
    3. Integration in a validated, user-ready heat battery. The aim is to bring this technology to the market by 2023.
