Learn MoreIn sensible heat, energy is stored by raising the temperature of a medium. The amount of energy stored is proportional to the physical properties of the storage material, including density, volume, specific heat, and temperature change of the storage material .
High-temperature thermal energy storage (HTTES) heat-to-electricity TES applications are currently associated with CSP deployments for power generation. TES with CSP has been deployed in the Southwestern United States with rich solar resources and has proved its value to the electric grid.
Sensible heat storage is the most commercially deployed TES type and is applicable for both power generation and heating. In sensible heat, energy is stored by raising the temperature of a medium.
Latent heat storage takes advantage of the relatively large amount of energy required to change the phase of the PCMs compared with raising its temperature. This increases energy density, with both latent and sensible heat contributing to the stored energy capacity.
This technology strategy assessment on thermal energy storage, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.
Thermal energy storage in buildings can be used to adjust the timing of electricity demand to better match intermittent supply and to satisfy distribution constraints. TES for building heating and cooling applications predominantly utilizes sensible and latent heat technologies at low temperatures (i.e., near room temperature).
