Távhálózattározás refers to the storage of thermal energy in district heating and cooling networks. This technology aims to improve the efficiency and flexibility of these systems by decoupling heat generation from heat consumption. By storing excess heat produced during periods of low demand or from renewable sources, it can be released during times of high demand, thus balancing supply and demand.

The most common methods for távhálózattározás involve large-scale thermal storage tanks. These tanks can be filled with water, which is then heated or cooled to the desired temperature. The stored energy can be accessed by circulating the water through the district network when needed. Other forms of storage, such as underground thermal energy storage (UTES) systems, are also employed, utilizing the ground as a heat reservoir.

The primary benefits of távhálózattározás include enhanced system efficiency, reduced operational costs, and the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources like solar thermal. It allows district heating and cooling plants to operate at more optimal levels, leading to lower emissions and improved grid stability. Furthermore, it can reduce the need for peak-load generating capacity, which is often more expensive and less environmentally friendly. The implementation of távhálózattározás is a key component in the transition towards more sustainable and resilient urban energy systems.
