This paper reviews different types of solar thermal energy storage (sensible heat, latent heat, and thermochemical storage) for low- (40–120 °C) and medium-to-high-temperature (120–1000 °C) applications.
If we want to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and also to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, the roles of solar thermal energy storage systems are critical. In industrial and domestic applications, various types of solar thermal storage are used.
Sensible heat storage technologies, including the use of water, underground and packed-bed are briefly reviewed. Latent heat storage (LHS) systems associated with phase change materials (PCMs) and thermo-chemical storage, as well as cool thermal energy storage are also discussed.
In order to develop efficient and economical energy storage systems, various energy storage technologies have been proposed , such as compressed air energy storage, pumped storage hydro-power, flywheel energy storage, thermal energy storage, electrochemical energy storage, hydrogen storage and so on.
According to Kuravi et al. , for a sustainable and practical solar thermal storage system design, considerations come first, followed by the selection of storage material, designing of components incorporating the storage material and the system consisting of storage tanks, heat exchangers and piping, respectively.
This chapter will be a useful resource for relevant researchers, engineers, policy-makers, technology users, and engineering students in the field. Main approaches of thermal energy storage: (a) sensible heat, (b) latent heat, (c) thermo-chemical reactions . Classification of latent heat materials with solid-liquid phase change behavior.
