Types of thermal energy storage technologies According to different heat storage principles, heat storage technology (TES) can be divided into sensible heat storage, phase change heat storage and thermochemical heat storage.
Energy Collection: Thermal energy is captured from a heat source. This heat might come from natural sources like solar heat (captured using solar thermal panels), industrial waste heat, or even off-peak electricity converted to heat via an electric heater. Energy Storage: The captured heat is transferred to a TES medium.
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.
Some applications are balancing the energy demand between day and night, storing summer heat for heating in winter or winter cold for air conditioning in summer (Seasonal thermal energy storage) and providing freeze protection in agricultural areas.
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.
