Neural Identification of a Temperature Field in the Storing Phase of Thermal Energy in Rock Bed Thermal Storage

Thermal energy stored within a rock bed thermal storage system, which is mostly used in agriculture, can be identified during the storage phase using mathematical models based on heat transfer, which concerns batteries running in a vertical setting. However, this requires the conversion of different...
