Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and power generation. TES systems are used particularly in buildings and in industrial processes.
This study is a first-of-its-kind specific review of the current projected performance and costs of thermal energy storage. This paper presents an overview of the main typologies of sensible heat (SH-TES), latent heat (LH-TES), and thermochemical energy (TCS) as well as their application in European countries.
Numerous researchers published reviews and research studies on particular applications, including thermochemical energy storage for high temperature source and power generation [, , , ], battery thermal management , textiles [31, 32], food, buildings [, , , ], heating systems and solar power plants .
TES can be compared with battery based electricity storage technology as below. When source energy form to be stored is low grade thermal energy, TES has round–trip efficiency in the range 50%–100%.
Because it is easily available and it is a non–toxic, non–flammable material, it is completely harmless to people. Therefore water is the best suited thermal energy storage material for home space heating, cold storage of food products and hot water supply type of applications. Steam phase is used for high temperature heat energy storage.
In fact, the temperature range is one of the main criteria for the suitability of a PCM in any application. There are numerous thermal energy storage applications that use PCMs, which all fit a particular range suitable for their optimum thermal performance .
