Thermal energy storage (TES) is increasingly important due to the demand-supply challenge caused by the intermittency of renewable energy and waste heat dissipation to the environment. This paper discusses the fundamentals and novel applications of TES materials and identifies appropriate TES materials for particular applications.
Solid state sensible thermal energy storage (TES) systems have emerged as a viable method of heat storage especially with the prospect of using natural stones as heat storage media which are cheap, locally available, and harmless to the environmental.
Thermal energy storage (TES) is the storage of thermal energy for later reuse. Employing widely different technologies, it allows surplus thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months. Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region.
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.
Potential and Barriers – The storage of thermal energy (typically from renewable energy sources, waste heat or surplus energy production) can replace heat and cold production from fossil fuels, reduce CO 2 emissions and lower the need for costly peak power and heat production capacity.
The concept of thermal energy storage (TES) can be traced back to early 19th century, with the invention of the ice box to prevent butter from melting (Thomas Moore, An Essay on the Most Eligible Construction of Ice-Houses, Baltimore: Bonsal and Niles, 1803).
Moreover, the thermal performance of the sensible TES was seen to be affected by the properties of both the heat storage material and HTF and as such attention has to be drawn to these variables when designing sensible TES systems.
