Large-Scale Heat Systems

At TU Delft we enable the energy transition by developing novel processes and equipment for the production and consumption of synthetic fuels, chemicals, and materials. We perform outstanding research in the fundamentals (thermodynamics and fluid dynamics) and in technologies (energy technology and storage, process intensification and multiphase systems).

This profile focuses on industrial and centralized systems like heat grids. In this profile also storage of heat is covered.
