Thermal energy storage (TES) can help to integrate high shares of renewable energy in power generation, industry and buildings. This outlook identifies priorities for research and development.
In sensible Thermal Energy Storage (TES), energy is stored by changing the temperature of the storage material. The amount of heat stored is proportional to the density, specific heat, and volume of the storage material, as well as the variation of its temperature.
Thermal storage (TES) is a technology that ensures energy security, efficiency and environmental quality. In recent decades, TES systems have demonstrated a capability to shift electrical loads from high-peak to off-peak hours, making them a powerful instrument in demand-side management programs.
In regards to thermal storage, the integration of a German thermal network would also be worthwhile. In connecting the electrical system to the thermal system, the advantage of thermal storage can be better realized as it is able to supply energy to both systems rather than just the electrical system as analyzed in the current study.
Numerous researchers published reviews and research studies on particular applications, including thermochemical energy storage for high temperature source and power generation [, , , ], battery thermal management , textiles [31, 32], food, buildings [, , , ], heating systems and solar power plants .
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems store heat or cold for later use and are classified into sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical heat storage. Sensible heat storage systems raise the temperature of a material to store heat. Latent heat storage systems use PCMs to store heat through melting or solidifying.
