Thermal storage systems have found diverse applications in both buildings and industrial settings, driven by the need for energy efficiency and sustainability. In residential and commercial buildings, these systems are increasingly integrated into heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to optimize energy use.
Thermal energy storage in buildings can be used to adjust the timing of electricity demand to better match intermittent supply and to satisfy distribution constraints. TES for building heating and cooling applications predominantly utilizes sensible and latent heat technologies at low temperatures (i.e., near room temperature).
Thermal storage can provide a steady supply of heat or cold, ensuring that industrial processes run smoothly without interruptions. For instance, in the food processing industry, thermal storage can maintain the necessary temperatures for pasteurization and refrigeration, thereby improving product quality and reducing energy consumption.
Wind energy, another prominent renewable source, also benefits from thermal storage integration. During periods of high wind activity, excess electricity generated by wind turbines can be used to power electric heaters or heat pumps, which in turn store thermal energy in various mediums.
Thermal storage systems can be categorized into three main types: sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical storage. Each type has unique characteristics and applications, making them suitable for different scenarios. Sensible heat storage involves storing thermal energy by raising the temperature of a solid or liquid medium.
