Sustainable Thermal Energy Storage

Abstract: State-of-the-art technological advancements have paved way for the development of numerous energy-efficient systems and strategies in modern times. In particular, thermal energy storage (TES) systems offer huge potential to balance between the energy supply and energy demand in buildings. Integration of the TES system with a conventional cooling/heating system can increase the chance for acquiring cost-energy savings potential and energy efficiency in buildings. The amalgamation of the TES system with renewable energy sources also plays a vital role in enhancing the operational performance of building systems. From the thermodynamic and economic points of view, the incorporation of energy-efficient heat storage materials energizing by means of renewable sources can facilitate fulfilling the requirements for the development of a sustainable future.
