Thermal energy storage operates based on two principles: sensible heat results in a change in temperature*. An identifying characteristic of sensible heat is the flow of heat from hot to cold by means of conduction, convection, or radiation.*
However, the enormous change in the volume of the storage materials is a problem and hence is not used in general. The thermal energy stored by latent heat can be expressed as (2) Q = m · L where m is the mass (kg), L is the specific latent heat (kJ.kg −1). 2.2.1. Thermal energy storage materials for latent heat storage 2.2.1.1. Organic
Thermal Energy Storage in district heating and cooling systems serves as a reserve of thermal energy, which can be used to supply heat or cooling load in times of peak demand or in times of high electricity prices – when heat is produced through electric heaters or heat pumps.
Sensible heat thermal energy storage materials store heat energy in their specific heat capacity (C p). The thermal energy stored by sensible heat can be expressed as (1) Q = m · C p · Δ T where m is the mass (kg), C p is the specific heat capacity (kJ.kg −1.K −1) and ΔT is the raise in temperature during charging process.
Thermal energy storage can be classified according to the heat storage mechanism in sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical heat storage. For the different storage mechanisms, Fig. 1 shows the working temperature and the relation between energy density and maturity.
The process of storing thermal energy can be described in three steps, referred to as a cycle. These steps are charging, storing and discharging. The storage cycle applies to sensible, latent and chemical storage; the differences between these methods are the material, the temperature of operation and a few other parameters.
