Working Principle of a Thermal Plant. The working fluid is water and steam. This is called feed water and steam cycle. The ideal Thermodynamic Cycle to which the operation of a Thermal Power Station closely resembles is the RANKINE CYCLE.. In a steam boiler, the water is heated up by burning the fuel in the air in the furnace, and the function of the boiler is to give

This brief deals primarily with heat storage systems or thermal energy storage (TES), a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium, so that the stored energy can be used later, either for heating and cooling applications or for power generation. TES systems are used particularly in buildings and industrial processes. With these applications,
TES is mainly described by the parameters like capacity, power, efficiency, storage period, charge and discharge time, and cost. There are different storage mechanisms by which energy can be stored: sensible, latent, and chemical reactions.
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems provide both environmental and economical benefits by reducing the need for burning fuels. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems have one simple purpose. That is preventing the loss of thermal energy by storing excess heat until it is consumed. Almost in every human activity, heat is produced. Our activities

Though this is certainly not true as depicted, it illustrates an early understanding of the important principle of applying solar thermal energy, the concentration of light to achieve higher temperatures, and therefore more application possibilities. In the late nineteenth century, A. Mouchot, a French engineer, developed several prototypes of solar engines, using
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.

Solar energy can be stored primarily in two ways: thermal storage and battery storage. Thermal storage involves capturing and storing the sun''s heat, while battery storage involves storing power generated by solar panels in batteries for later use. These methods enable the use of solar energy even when the sun is not shining.

Solar thermal energy is usually stored in the form of heated water, also termed as sensible heat. The efficiency of solar thermal energy mainly depends upon the efficiency of storage technology due to the: (1) unpredictable characteristics and (2) time dependent properties, of the exposure of solar radiations.
Solar thermal storage (STS) refers to the accumulation of energy collected by a given solar field for its later use. In the context of this chapter, STS technologies are installed to provide the solar plant with partial or full dispatchability, so that the plant output does not depend strictly in time on the input, i.e., the solar irradiation.
The basic principle is the same in all TES applications. Energy is supplied to a storage system for removal and use at a later time. What mainly varies is the scale of the storage and the storage method used. The process of storing thermal energy can be described in three steps, referred to as a cycle.
According to Kuravi et al. , for a sustainable and practical solar thermal storage system design, considerations come first, followed by the selection of storage material, designing of components incorporating the storage material and the system consisting of storage tanks, heat exchangers and piping, respectively.
