Abstract: The use of structural thermal storage is often suggested as a key technology to improve the penetration of renewable energy sources and mitigate potential production and distribution capacity issues. Therefore, a quantitative assessment of the energy flexibility provided by structural thermal energy storage is a prerequisite to instigate a large scale deployment of thermal mass as active storage technologies in an active demand response (ADR) context.
