Solar thermal power generation-molten salt energy storage integrated systems are mostly equipped with steam Rankine cycle (Desai and Bandyopadhyay, 2016, Mohammadi and McGowan, 2018), where high-temperature molten salt heats water and generate vapor to drive steam turbine blades to rotate, thereby realizing thermoelectric
Molten-salt storage – a form of TES commonly used in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants could grow from 491 GWh of installed capacity currently to 631 GWh by 2030. In the meantime, other TES technologies, including solid-state and liquid air variants, could also become commercially viable for storing surplus energy from CSP, solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind.

Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to the reduced or curtailed production when sun sets or is blocked by clouds (as in PV systems). The solar energy can be stored for hours or even days and the heat exchanged before being used to generate electricity .
The newer CSP plants have significant storage capacity from 5 to 8.5 h using 2 tank-indirect storage configurations. Nevertheless, the fact that more than half of the plants do not allow for energy storage is a sign of a need to develop and integrate energy storage systems for this CSP configuration. 4.2.

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.
The technology of thermal energy storage utilizing the heat of chemical reactions has the possibility to undertake higher energy efficient processes than other thermal energy storage technologies. The main advantage of using chemical reactions as storage systems is the potentially high energy density.
