Solar energy has a one-day period, meaning that the ‘long term’ storage requirements is based on hours. In that context, thermal energy storage technology has become an essential part of CSP systems, as it can be seen in Fig. 13, and has been highlighted over this review.
Thermal storage plays a crucial role in solar systems as it bridges the gap between resource availability and energy demand, thereby enhancing the economic viability of the system and ensuring energy continuity during periods of usage.
Energy storage duration is typically expressed in terms of the number of hours a storage device can provide continuous output at its rated capacity. Definitions of LDES in the literature range from as little as 2 hours to as much as multiple days or even months.
