Development of thermal energy storage technologies for solar thermal systems has been conducted since the mid-1970s. This paper presents an overview of past and present experimental activities for electrical power and process heat applications both within and outside the United States. The factors affecting the selection of a storage technology for these applications, as well as the nature of those applications, are discussed. Future research needs are also described.

This paper deals with the assessment of different thermal energy storage technologies for solar process heat application. Three different storage concepts are discussed in detail: sensible solid media storage, steam accumulators, and phase change energy storage. The first two systems are sensible storage systems and the latter one is using solid-liquid phase change of salts for isothermal heat storage. All three concepts are superior to commercially available pressurized water storage units. For the assessment of the different concepts a reference case was defined consisting of a solar system providing saturated steam for an industrial process demanding heat at 140 °C. The temperature difference between operation temperature of the solar system and the industrial process has significant influence on the assessment of the different storage technologies. A small temperature difference of 20K or even less shows significant advantage of the PCM storage approach. Values in the order of 60K lead to an adjustment of the cost of the different concepts. In this case a more detailed evaluation is required to identify the most economic technology.

Change Material

Mathematical representations of the encapsulated phase change material (PCM) within thermal energy storage (TES) models are investigated. Applying the Effectiveness - Number of Transfer Unit (ɛ-NTU) method, the performances of these TES are presented in terms of the effectiveness considering the impact of different variable parameters. The mathematical formulations summarized can be used for future research work with the suggestion to maximize the heat transfer within the storage. Thus the optimisation on the configuration of the encapsulation can be done through a parametric analysis.

A higher number of research institutions work on solutions for energy storage systems. Therefore a large number of differing approaches in competition among each other to develop storage technologies. At the TU-Wien, Institute for Energy Systems and Thermodynamics a novel thermal energy storage concept based on an active fluidized bed technology — the so called sandTES-heat exchanger technology — has been developed. The present paper describes the basic idea behind the key technology and the design methodology of a test rig in semi-industrial scale. In addition the results of selected preliminary experimental and numerical investigations are presented and discussed.
