Supports TES integration with renewables and HVAC&R for sustainability. Interactive research tool to accelerate TES adoption and innovation. Thermal energy storage (TES) stands out as a key solution for advancing energy conservation and enhancing system efficiency, especially when paired with local renewable energy sources (RES).
Like how a battery stores energy to use when needed, TES systems can store thermal energy from hours to weeks and discharge the thermal energy directly to regulate building temperatures, while avoiding wasteful thermal/electrical energy conversions.
The main insights regarding TES include. In general, numerical studies on TES systems focus on solar energy and PCMs. Recently a new trend focusing on thermal systems applied to buildings has emerged. Most of the reviewed articles on thermal storage refer to STES and LTES.
