Among all the storage methods, thermal energy storage (TES) is one of the most economical systems in practical applications, and it allows the storage of thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium to be used at a later time .
When using as a thermal storage medium, thermal oil can remain in liquid phase at temperatures of 350–400°C with stable thermal properties, which is much higher than the liquid water. It means that thermal oil can store more thermal energy based on the wider temperature operation range.
Solar thermal power plants need thermal oil boilers to produce the superheated steam to generate the electricity in the turbines. Solar thermal energy harnesses solar heat for the production of either thermal or electrical energy.
In small-scale distributed solar power systems, such as solar-driven ORC systems [69, 73], low-temperature thermal energy storage materials can be used.
