First version of simulation model of the thermo-chemical storage system

This deliverable introduces and describes two advanced simulation frameworks designed to model sorption ther-

mal storage systems based on Sodium-hydroxide and water. Both models are based on physical equations and al-

low insights into the systems’ behavior for diverse boundary conditions. The first model uses an integral approach

to predict the steady-state working conditions of both the Absorber/Desorber-Unit and the Evaporator/Condenser

unit. The second focuses on the detailed, time-dependent internal conditions of the Absorber/Desorber unit.
