TES sizing and effectiveness. Demand for high temperature storage is on a high rise, particularly with the advancement of circular economy as a solution to reduce global warming effects. Thermal energy storage can be used in concentrated solar power plants, waste heat recovery and conventional power plants to improve the thermal efficiency.
Of all components, thermal storage is a key component. However, it is also one of the less developed. Only a few plants in the world have tested high temperature thermal energy storage systems. In this context, high temperature is considered when storage is performed between 120 and 600 °C.
Thermal energy storage can be used in concentrated solar power plants, waste heat recovery and conventional power plants to improve the thermal efficiency. Latent thermal energy storage systems using phase change materials are highly thought for such applications due to their high energy density as compared to their sensible heat counterparts.
The chemical storage technology is also promising, but is even less developed than the latent heat one for concentrated solar power heat storage. Some studies have claimed that ammonia and the SnO x /Sn reactions may be the most suitable ones, but much more investigation is still needed. 9.
Sensible TES consists of a storage medium, a container (commonly tank) and inlet/outlet devices. Tanks must both retain the storage material and prevent losses of thermal energy. The existence of a thermal gradient across storage is desirable. Sensible heat storage can be made by solid media or liquid media.
Concentrated solar thermal power generation is becoming a very attractive renewable energy production system among all the different renewable options, as it has have a better potential for dispatchability. This dispatchability is inevitably linked with an efficient and cost-effective thermal storage system.
