Thermal storage plays a crucial role in solar systems as it bridges the gap between resource availability and energy demand, thereby enhancing the economic viability of the system and ensuring energy continuity during periods of usage.
Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to this challenge. In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun's rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use.
The introduction of thermal energy storage (TES) to CSP plants could balance the supply and demand of energy by minimizing the adverse effects of solar energy intermittency . Increased use of irregular RES has an impact on grid stability.
Thermal energy storage material is the key component to be considered in optimizing the design, operation, and cost of the CSP system. The material defines the feasibility of the system and makes it cost-comparable with conventional power plants. The desired characteristics of a TES material reported in [ 11, 12] are given as
Other sources of thermal energy for storage include heat or cold produced with heat pumps from off-peak, lower cost electric power, a practice called peak shaving; heat from combined heat and power (CHP) power plants; heat produced by renewable electrical energy that exceeds grid demand and waste heat from industrial processes.
The newer CSP plants have significant storage capacity from 5 to 8.5 h using 2 tank-indirect storage configurations. Nevertheless, the fact that more than half of the plants do not allow for energy storage is a sign of a need to develop and integrate energy storage systems for this CSP configuration. 4.2.
