The objective of thermal protection is to decrease or shift the heating/cooling load of a system, while the objective of an energy storage system is to store the thermal energy released from the system on demand [215, 221, 222].
Thermal energy storage system Renewable energy systems require energy storage, and TES is used for heating and cooling applications . Unlike photovoltaic units, solar systems predominantly harness the Sun's thermal energy and have distinct efficiencies. However, they rely on a radiation source for thermal support.
In the cooling charging process, the cooling produced by chiller in the off-peak period is directly stored in TES. In the on-peak period, the cooling is discharged from TES to partly/completely offset the mechanical cooling demand from end users. Fig. 8.
