Thermal energy storage (TES) is increasingly important due to the demand-supply challenge caused by the intermittency of renewable energy and waste heat dissipation to the environment. This paper discusses the fundamentals and novel applications of TES materials and identifies appropriate TES materials for particular applications.
These overarching targets can be supported by the integration of thermal energy storage systems in order to increase utilization of renewable energy technologies (including solar thermal technologies as well as fluctuating power generation by PV and wind) and boost energy system flexibility through peak shaving and demand response applications
Thermochemical heat storage is one effective type of thermal energy storage technique, which allows significant TES capacities per weight of materials used. In the NHS project, reversible chemical reactions (absorption and desorption) between metal halides and ammonia (NH3) are used.
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 .
Heat storage in separate TES modules usually requires active components (fans or pumps) and control systems to transport stored energy to the occupant space. Heat storage tanks, various types of heat exchanges, solar collectors, air ducts, and indoor heating bodies can be considered elements of an active system.
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.
