is the variation of the enthalpy of the layer i; Key 5 Qt+1,i: is the energy input to the layer i; Key 6 t .cp (Ít,i-1 -Ít;i) is the variation of enthalpy due to mass transfer with temperature of the underlying layer; Key 2 HTR, i(Í,i- Ít,i-1)
is the energy exchange due to conduction with the lower layer; Key 4 HTR, i+1.ai (Ít,i+1- Ít,i)
is the energy exchange due to conduction with the upper layer; Key 3 Qsto,ls(i)
is the contribution of the layer i to the thermal losses of the storage unit. NOTE HTR is not characterized in the standardized tests and is neglected in the calculation. Consequences for neglecting conduction transfer between layers will result to suppress the thermal interaction between the different volumes used in the method A; these thermal transfers impact the temperatures as the thermal stratification is reduced. The energy balance at the storage level is respected. 6 Calculation of storage systems 6.1 Output data The output data of this method are listed in Tables 3 and 4. SIST EN 15316-5:2018

In order to avoid iteration it is assumed that the storage can always provide the requested output temperature and the requested energy. If at the end of a calculation step the generators cannot provide the requested energy the missing energy is either reported to the next calculation step or the calculation is stopped. In a monthly method, as the calculation steps are independent, it might be possible to calculate e.g. the temperature output due to missing energy provided by the generators for information. Energy output Q sto;H;out and Q sto;W,out are the thermal energies provided by the storage system to the distribution for heating or domestic hot water in the calculation interval. Recoverable heat Q sto;H;ls;rbl is the recoverable heat for heating in the calculation interval. SIST EN 15316-5:2018
