In small-scale distributed solar power systems, such as solar-driven ORC systems [69, 73], low-temperature thermal energy storage materials can be used. For example, water, organic aliphatic compounds, inorganic hydrated-salt PCMs and thermal oils have been investigated for solar combined heat and power applications .
2. The properties of solar thermal energy storage materials Applications like house space heating require low temperature TES below 50 °C, while applications like electrical power generation require high temperature TES systems above 175 °C .
The performances of solar thermal energy storage systems A TES system consists of three parts: storage medium, heat exchanger and storage tank. Storage medium can be sensible, latent heat or thermochemical storage material . The purpose of the heat exchanger is to supply or extract heat from the storage medium.
An effective method of storing thermal energy from solar is through the use of phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs are isothermal in nature, and thus offer higher density energy storage and the ability to operate in a variable range of temperature conditions.
Usage of renewable and clean solar energy is expanding at a rapid pace. Applications of thermal energy storage (TES) facility in solar energy field enable dispatchability in generation of electricity and home space heating requirements. It helps mitigate the intermittence issue with an energy source like solar energy.
In Jemalong Solar Thermal Station in Australia, liquid sodium at 560°C is used as the storage material. Thermal oils have also been used in Dahan Power Plant in China and in many researches . Apart from these fluid-type thermal energy storage materials, solid materials (concrete and rocks) are another option for thermal energy storage [71, 72].
