Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to this challenge. In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun's rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use.
Solar thermal energy is usually stored in the form of heated water, also termed as sensible heat. The efficiency of solar thermal energy mainly depends upon the efficiency of storage technology due to the: (1) unpredictable characteristics and (2) time dependent properties, of the exposure of solar radiations.
One challenge facing the widespread use of solar energy is reduced or curtailed energy production when the sun sets or is blocked by clouds. Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to this challenge.
