Thermal energy storage (TES) is increasingly important due to the demand-supply challenge caused by the intermittency of renewable energy and waste heat dissipation to the environment. This paper discusses the fundamentals and novel applications of TES materials and identifies appropriate TES materials for particular applications.
One of the main challenges for latent thermal energy storages is the phase change itself which requires a separation of the storage medium and HTF. Furthermore, PCMs usually have a low thermal conductivity, which limits the heat transfer and power of the storage.
Thermal energy storage materials 1, 2 in combination with a Carnot battery 3, 4, 5 could revolutionize the energy storage sector. However, a lack of stable, inexpensive and energy-dense thermal energy storage materials impedes the advancement of this technology.
This study is a first-of-its-kind specific review of the current projected performance and costs of thermal energy storage. This paper presents an overview of the main typologies of sensible heat (SH-TES), latent heat (LH-TES), and thermochemical energy (TCS) as well as their application in European countries.
The most prominent challenge in this type of seasonal thermal energy storage is the very long duration of storage and the sheer amount of thermal energy that needs to be stored. Marstal district heating system in Marstal, Denmark which supports space heating of 1420 houses has an annual energy consumption of 19 GWh .
As the thermal discharge continues the outlet temperature of the HTF gradually starts decreasing with the time. Compared to latent heat, specific heat of materials is 50–100 times smaller and therefore the thermal energy storage density is smaller.
