THERESA is a Thermal Energy Storage Test Facility located in the Zittau Power Plant Laboratory. It reproduces thermal power plant processes and is feasible for experimental investigations where steam or saturated water under high pressure and temperature conditions is required. THERESA supports research on several topics:
