Working title of thesis: "Potentials of distributed long-term energy storage"
Description: The potential of decentralized long-term storage technologies to support the energy transition are explored, with focus on the perspective of decentralized users, highlighting economic benefits and synergy effects. Various storage technologies are analyzed in terms of their integration into decentralized energy systems and their market potential. Additionally, business models and economic conditions are examined to demonstrate the technical and financial viability of decentralized storage solutions.
