HIGH TEMERATURE THERMAL ENERGY STOARAGE SYSTEM APPLICATIONS

Thermal energy storage (TES) includes a number of d ifferent technologies. Thermal energy can be stored at temperatures from -40�C to more than 400�C as sensi ble heat,latent heat and chemical energy (i.e. the rmo- chemical energy storage) using chemical reactions. Thermal energy storage in the form of sensible heat is based on the specific heat of a storage medium,whi ch is usually kept in storage tanks with high therm al insulation. The most popular and commercial heat st orage medium is water,which has a number of reside ntial and industrial applications. Underground storage of sensible heat in both liquid and solid media is al so used for typically large-scale applications. However,TES sy stems based on sensible heat storage offer a storag e capacity that is limited by the specific heat of th e storage medium. Phase change materials (PCMs) can offer a higher storage capacity that is associated with the latent heat of the phase change. PCMs also enable a target- oriented discharging temperature that is set by the constant temperature of the phase change. Thermo-c hemical storage (TCS) can offer even higher storage capacit ies https://www.ijiert.org/paper-details?paper_id=14021
