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.
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.
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.
The performances of solar thermal energy storage systems A TES system consists of three parts: storage medium, heat exchanger and storage tank. Storage medium can be sensible, latent heat or thermochemical storage material . The purpose of the heat exchanger is to supply or extract heat from the storage medium.
These systems are designed to store thermal energy over longer periods, usually from summer to winter, to balance out the seasonal variations in energy supply and demand. These systems often utilize large-volume water storage, which makes them economically viable despite the higher installation costs.
