Speech Title: Investigations on the Thermal Energy Storage Principles – Classification, Characteristics, and Applications

Abstract: Thermal energy storage (TES) systems consist of an attractive set of technologies to bridge the discrepancy between the energy demand and energy supply over time. TES helps significantly to meeting society’s requirements for more efficient and environment-friendly use of energy. TES systems are interested in thermal applications like heating and cooling of spaces and water, including temperature stabilisation and air conditioning. The utilisation of TES can improve the system efficiency by smoothing the variations on supply and demand patterns, the temperature variations, and growing the cooling/heating source reliability.
This presentation addresses the main types of TES systems, their various characteristics, advantages, and drawbacks. In addition, different TES applications suitable for renewable energy systems are discussed.
