Storage
Is there anything to learn from storage approaches in other domains?
Daniel Plant – IDE 1999
Design Principles
• Technical function
• Economic function
• Psychological function
• Social function
• Latent function
• Emergent function• Stakeholder engagement
• Customisation

Abstraction Analogy
Principle 1: Segmentation
• The Segmentation principle for encourages considering dividing an object into smaller independent parts,
• making an object sectional,
• making an object easy to assemble or disassemble,
• increasing the degree of an object’s divisibility or fragmentation.

Segmentation
Parameters and principles
• What do we want to improve?
• Duration of action by a stationary object (16)
• Temperature
• Use of energy by stationary object (20)
• What gets worse?
• Volume of stationary object (8)
• Loss of Energy
• Device complexity
Parameters 8 and 16 → Principles 35, 34, 38
35 Transforming the physical or chemical
state of an object
34 Discard and renewal
38 Strong oxidants
Decision Making
• Functional Modelling
• Design Rationale
• Problem Structuring Methods (PSM)

Clever gadgetry?
• Passive active
• Active TES
• Segmentation and modularisation
• Incorporation of TES in building elements
• Retrofitting
• High temperature TES; Conventional TES; Cold TES
• Use of high tech to address the stability and life of PCMs
• Play the Grid
