SCORES

The SCORES concept is based on a hybrid system combining effectively and efficiently solutions that harvest electricity and heat from the sun, store electricity, convert electricity into heat, store heat, and manage the energy flows in the building. The following ideas and assumptions are the starting point for the development of this highly inter-disciplinary overall concept:

1. Delivery of economic value for home-owner and grid operator by storing energy at the lowest cost by using hybrid storage (market-pull);
2. A breakthrough in optimal integration of the key technologies for storage and conversion required for a hybrid system;
3. A breakthrough is required regarding cost and compactness of (electrical and thermal) storage technologies;
4. Demonstration in relevant use cases is required to prove the economic and technological viability;
5. For successful exploitation, the full knowledge, value, and supply chain has to be mobilized
