An overview of state of the art and research in the fields of sensible, latent and thermo-chemical thermal energy storage
Due to the increase in volatile renewable power and heat generation (wind or solar), thermal energy storage (TES) has obtained growing importance and interest. The technology can be distinguished into three main types: sensible, latent and thermochemical storage. Apart from low and medium temperature heat applications, high temperature TES also is an attractive means to store power in the form of heat (before the thermodynamic transformation process). Thermochemical storage allows for long duration seasonal storage of energy.
