Operating temperatures & duty
Charge sources: process waste heat, boilers, electric elements (heat pumps), solar PV
Discharge: process water, Domestic hot water top-up
Where it helps
Process heat reuse: capture heat from industrial processes and redeploy to pre-heat incoming loads
Peak shaving & load shifting: charge off-peak; discharge on demand to trim peak energy use
Boiler support: reduce short-cycling and cover transient spikes with stable thermal capacity
Solar buffering: store midday surplus for late-shift cleaning or evening DHW
