Usage of renewable and clean solar energy is expanding at a rapid pace. Applications of thermal energy storage (TES) facility in solar energy field enable dispatchability in generation of electricity and home space heating requirements. It helps mitigate the intermittence issue with an energy source like solar energy.
The solar thermal storage unit can also improve the equipment performance in terms of a smooth supply of energy with fluctuated solar energy collection as solar radiation varies throughout a day.
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.
Thermal energy storage system Renewable energy systems require energy storage, and TES is used for heating and cooling applications . Unlike photovoltaic units, solar systems predominantly harness the Sun's thermal energy and have distinct efficiencies. However, they rely on a radiation source for thermal support.
MIT is developing a thermal energy storage device that captures energy from the sun; this energy can be stored and released at a later time when it is needed most. Within the device, the absorption of sunlight causes the solar thermal fuel's photoactive molecules to change shape, which allows energy to be stored within their chemical bonds.
Thermal storage materials for solar energy applications Research attention on solar energy storage has been attractive for decades. The thermal behavior of various solar energy storage systems is widely discussed in the literature, such as bulk solar energy storage, packed bed, or energy storage in modules.
