The role of solar thermal energy storage
To eliminate its intermittence feature, thermal energy storage is vital for efficient and stable operation of solar energy utilization systems. In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun's rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use. This process employs various methodologies, primarily involving the utilization of materials capable of storing thermal energy in the form of heat. . Thermal storage plays a crucial role in solar systems as it bridges the gap between resource availability and energy demand, thereby enhancing the economic viability of the system and ensuring energy continuity during periods of usage.
