Thermal storage technologies have the potential to provide large capacity, long-duration storage to enable high penetrations of intermittent renewable energy, flexible energy generation for conventional baseload sources, and seasonal energy needs. Thermal storage options include sensible, latent, and thermochemical technologies.
Common examples include water, sand, and stones. The amount of energy stored is proportional to the material''s mass (m), specific heat capacity (c), and the change in temperature (∆T), as given by the equation Q

Fatty alcohols have been identified as promising organic phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage, because of their suitable temperature range, nontoxicity and can be obtained from
The three mechanisms of thermal energy storage are discussed herein: sensible heat storage (Q S,stor), latent heat storage (Q L,stor), and sorption heat storage (Q SP,stor).
There are three kinds of TES systems, namely: 1) sensible heat storage that is based on storing thermal energy by heating or cooling a liquid or solid storage medium (e.g. water, sand, molten
Sensible heat thermal energy storage materials store heat energy in their specific heat capacity (C p). The thermal energy stored by sensible heat can be expressed as Q = m ⋅ C p ⋅ Δ T, where m is the mass (kg), C p is the specific heat capacity (kJ kg −1 K −1) and Δ T is the raise in temperature during charging process. During the
The three mechanisms of thermal energy storage are discussed herein: sensible heat storage (Q S,stor), latent heat storage (Q L,stor), and sorption heat storage (Q SP,stor). Various materials were evaluated in the literature for their potential as heat storage mediums in thermal storage systems. The evaluation criteria include their
Decarbonizing our carbon-constrained energy economy requires massive increase in renewable power as the primary electricity source. However, deficiencies in energy storage continue to slow down rapid integration of renewables into the electric grid. Currently, global electrical storage capacity stands at an insufficiently low level of only 800 GWh,
In addition, depending on the energy storage method deemed, TES solutions can be classified into three categories, viz., sensible heat storage (SHS), latent heat storage (LHS) using PCMs and thermochemical heat storage (TCHS). Moreover, these classes can be implemented in active or passive buildings [16][17].

Latent thermal energy storages are using phase change materials (PCMs) as storage material. By utilization of the phase change, a high storage density within a narrow temperature range is possible. Mainly materials with a solid–liquid phase change are applied due to the smaller volume change. One of the main challenges for latent thermal energy storages

The different kinds of thermal energy storage can be divided into three separate categories: sensible heat, latent heat, and thermo-chemical heat storage. Each of these has different advantages and disadvantages that determine their applications. Sensible heat storage (SHS) is the most straightforward method. It simply means the temperature of some medium is either increased or decreased. This type of storage is the most commerciall
Thermal energy storage technology involves storing excess heat for future use and is widely applied in power, industry, and construction. As the proportion of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, grows in the global mix, thermal energy storage becomes increasingly vital for balancing energy supply and demand.
To manage peaks in district heating and district cooling, one method is to store hot or cold water in insulated tanks to use when demand is increasing – so called thermal energy storage (TES) . In this way no additional production units must be started, which will significantly reduce the environmental impact and reduce costs.
The sensible heat of molten salt is also used for storing solar energy at a high temperature, [10] termed molten-salt technology or molten salt energy storage (MSES). Molten salts can be employed as a thermal energy storage method to retain thermal energy. Presently, this is a commercially used technology to store the heat collected by concentrated solar power (e.g.,
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
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.
Sensible heat storage (SHS) is by far the most common method for heat storage [8]. It is the simplest and easiest form of heat storage technology [12]. Sensible heat is the heat exchanged by a system that does not change its phase but changes the temperature of a storage medium. The temperature changes linearly in relation to the stored heat.
There are three kinds of TES systems, namely: 1) sensible heat storage that is based on storing thermal energy by heating or cooling a liquid or solid storage medium (e.g. water, sand, molten salts, rocks), with water being the cheapest option; 2) latent heat storage using phase change materials or PCMs (e.g. from a solid state into a liquid sta...
The ability to store energy can facilitate the integration of clean energy and renewable energy into power grids and real-world, everyday use. For example, electricity storage through batteries powers electric vehicles, while large-scale energy storage systems help utilities meet electricity demand during periods when renewable energy resources are not producing
In the past few decades, electricity production depended on fossil fuels due to their reliability and efficiency [1].Fossil fuels have many effects on the environment and directly affect the economy as their prices increase continuously due to their consumption which is assumed to double in 2050 and three times by 2100 [6] g. 1 shows the current global
Thermal energy can be stored in several ways, using different categories of materials based on their storage method: sensible heat storage materials, latent heat storage materials, and thermochemical materials. Sensible Heat Storage Materials: These materials store energy by changing their temperature without undergoing a phase change.
Traditionally, heat storage has been in the form of sensible heat, raising the temperature of a medium. Examples of such energy storage include hot water storage (hydro-accumulation), underground thermal energy storage (aquifer, borehole, cavern, ducts in soil, pit) , and rock filled storage (rock, pebble, gravel).
Other sources of thermal energy for storage include heat or cold produced with heat pumps from off-peak, lower cost electric power, a practice called peak shaving; heat from combined heat and power (CHP) power plants; heat produced by renewable electrical energy that exceeds grid demand and waste heat from industrial processes.
Storage of heat is accomplished by sensible and to a lesser extent latent thermal energy storage in many applications, and less research is available on chemical and thermochemical heat storage. The key enabling technologies in most storage systems are in systems engineering and material science.
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. Thermochemical heat storage systems store heat by breaking or forming chemical bonds.
Various materials were evaluated in the literature for their potential as heat storage mediums in thermal storage systems. The evaluation criteria include their heat storage capacity, thermal conductivity, and cyclic stability for long-term usage.
