Heat storage can act as a buffer for surplus energy, ensuring that thermal energy is available when renewable generation is low. This is particularly beneficial in Switzerland, where seasonal variations in energy generation can impact the consistency of renewable energy supply.
Emerging technologies and innovations in heat storage The field of heat storage is evolving rapidly, driven by the increasing demand for efficient energy systems, especially in renewable energy applications like geothermal and solar energy.
Storage capacity is another critical challenge. Different types of heat storage have varying capacities to store heat, and this can impact their effectiveness for certain applications. Sensible heat storage systems, such as water tanks, have limitations in terms of the energy density they can achieve.
Heat storage technologies, which capture and store thermal energy for later use, offer a solution to mitigate these challenges by providing energy during periods of high demand or when renewable generation is low (Konyk and Demchenko 2021).
Energy suppliers such as N-ERGIE are then faced with the challenge of having to bridge such phases with little electricity from renewable energies and therefore high electricity prices. Heat storage systems can help to bridge these phases, secure the heat supply and also integrate renewable energies.
For instance, concentrated solar power (CSP) plants paired with large thermal storage systems can provide electricity even when the sun isn't shining, creating a more reliable energy supply. Similarly, geothermal energy can benefit from large-scale heat storage for district heating applications (Pastakkaya 2023). 7.2.
