You have full access to this open access article Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems are pivotal in advancing net-zero energy transitions, particularly in the energy sector, which is a major contributor to climate change due to carbon emissions.
Heat storage material type based TES systems A wide variety of materials are being used for thermal energy storage. TES materials must possess suitable thermo–physical properties like favorable melting point for the given thermal application, high latent heat, high specific heat and high thermal conductivity etc.
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.
Underground storage of sensible heat in both liquid and solid media is also used for typically large-scale applications. However, TES systems based on SHS offer a storage capacity that is limited by the specific heat of the storage medium. Furthermore, SHS systems require proper design to discharge thermal energy at constant temperatures.
At the same time, they are opening up further applications such as stationary energy storage for grid stabilization and for optimizing the operation of electrolysers. Thermal energy storage systems cover both short (day/night) and long-term (seasonal) periods. In the industrial environment, thermal storage is used for waste heat recovery.
