Adam Rasmus Jensen

Adam Rasmus Jensen is a Senior Researcher in the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he contributes to sustainable energy solutions through research in thermal energy storage and solar technologies. His work is aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to affordable and clean energy.

Research Interests: His primary research areas include pit thermal energy storage, district heating systems, concentrating solar collectors, solar irradiance modeling, and integration of renewable energy into urban energy systems. He specializes in system performance analysis, heat loss evaluation, and data-driven modeling for solar energy applications.

The recent publications reflect a strong trend in large-scale energy storage monitoring and solar resource assessment. His work bridges theoretical modeling (e.g., the continuous Perez model) with real-world implementation (e.g., Høje Taastrup pit storage), emphasizing data transparency and system efficiency in renewable energy infrastructures.

Scientific Contributions:

• Active contributor to international research collaborations, including the IEA ES TCP Task 41 on Economics of Energy Storage.
• Key developer of SolarStations.org, a global catalog of solar irradiance monitoring stations.
• Published extensively on thermal energy storage performance and solar modeling techniques.

Advising and Grants:

• Supervisor for multiple PhD projects at DTU, including large pit thermal energy storage and solar forecasting using sky imagers.
• Involved in significant research projects funded through national and international programs, focusing on sustainable district heating and energy storage economics.

Labs and Teams: Works within the Energy and Services research group at DTU Construct, contributing to experimental and modeling efforts in sustainable building and energy systems. Collaborates closely with supervisors and researchers such as Simon Furbo, Jianhua Fan, and Ioannis Sifnaios.
