Thermal Storage System Concentrating Solar
One challenge facing the widespread use of solar energy is reduced or curtailed energy production when the sun sets or is blocked by clouds.
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.
Solar thermal energy is usually stored in the form of heated water, also termed as sensible heat. The efficiency of solar thermal energy mainly depends upon the efficiency of storage technology due to the: (1) unpredictable characteristics and (2) time dependent properties, of the exposure of solar radiations.
The solar thermal storage unit can also improve the equipment performance in terms of a smooth supply of energy with fluctuated solar energy collection as solar radiation varies throughout a day.
Packed bed storage system is one of the feasible techniques to store the solar thermal energy which can be assembled with various solar thermal applications of low temperature as well as high temperature. The present review covers the sensible heat based packed bed solar thermal energy storage systems for low temperature applications.
Solar thermal storage (STS) refers to the accumulation of energy collected by a given solar field for its later use. In the context of this chapter, STS technologies are installed to provide the solar plant with partial or full dispatchability, so that the plant output does not depend strictly in time on the input, i.e., the solar irradiation.
Thermochemical energy storage can be one of the best possible options for thermal energy storage in solar thermal power plants. Let us consider one such example of thermochemical energy storage using metal hydride discussed earlier.
