Thermal energy storage (TES) is a key element for effective and increased utilization of solar energy in the sectors heating and cooling, process heat, and power generation. Solar thermal energy shows seasonally (summer-winter), daily (day-night), and hourly (clouds) flux variations which does not enable a solar system to
At least a thermal load of ~50 tons is required for seasonal thermal storage to work efficiently; otherwise, storage volume will be too low resulting in higher loss factor for stored thermal energy. For residential applications (where the load is typically below ~50 tons), cluster of houses together can be provided with the ATES [ 9 ].
Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and power generation. TES systems are used particularly in buildings and in industrial processes. This paper is focused on TES technologies that
