As part of a research project, the LCST laboratory is studying the concept of a “Carnot battery”, a system for storing electricity as thermal energy, an alternative to other types of electric batteries. Such a process includes thermodynamic machines and thermal storage.
You will be involved in the part related to the development of the very high temperature heat pump. Such development also corresponds to industrial and societal expectations of decarbonization. In more detail, the missions that will be entrusted to you are:
- Definition of the heat pump concept in line with the other subsystems
- Modeling of the heat pump with the EES tool
- Follow-up of the realization of the heat pump demonstrator
- Experimental validation of heat pump performance and digital readjustment
- Definition of the actions to be carried out for the transition to scale 1
- Coupling of the heat pump demonstrator with the other components
A particular effort on publications and scientific communications is requested
