Thermal storage plays a crucial role in solar systems as it bridges the gap between resource availability and energy demand, thereby enhancing the economic viability of the system and ensuring energy continuity during periods of usage.
This work indicates that the future of thermal energy storage may be promising for several reasons. The first key observation is that the high expenses associated with solar thermal energy storage may be outweighed if CSP plants with storage can sell power at wholesale utility rates.
In thermal energy storage systems, PCMs are essential for storing energy during high renewable energy generation periods, such as solar and wind. This energy storage capability allows for more efficient supply and demand management, enhancing grid stability and supporting the integration of renewable energy sources .
A recent study evaluated the effectiveness of TES in solar plants, showing how thermal storage capacity significantly improves operational efficiency and production stability [2, 8].
Concentrated solar power can incorporate thermal energy storage, which can provide larger storage capacities than other technologies. In this study, a comprehensive computational framework is developed for the modeling and optimization of a parabolic trough plant with storage.
These systems are designed to store thermal energy over longer periods, usually from summer to winter, to balance out the seasonal variations in energy supply and demand. These systems often utilize large-volume water storage, which makes them economically viable despite the higher installation costs.
