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 . Table 4.
These include the two-tank direct system, two-tank indirect system, and single-tank thermocline system. Solar thermal energy in this system is stored in the same fluid used to collect it. The fluid is stored in two tanks—one at high temperature and the other at low temperature.
Implementing thermal energy storage systems enables CSP plants to supply electricity throughout all hours since they hold surplus thermal energy from peak solar periods. CSP technologies require thermal energy storage systems to reach their full operational potential.
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].
As shown in Figure 1, there are three main thermal energy storage technologies : sensible heat storage through a temperature change (sensible heat) of a material, latent heat storage through phase change (latent heat) of a material and thermochemical heat (chemical energy) by thermally inducing changes in materials' chemical states.
