What Is Thermal Energy Storage? TES systems can be installed in buildings in a way that allows the building to act as a thermal battery. Energy, potentially from renewable sources such as solar or wind, is stored in tanks or other vessels filled with materials—such as ice, wax, salt, or sand—for use at a different time.

1. Introduction. It is well known that the use of adequate thermal energy storage (TES) systems in the building and industrial sector presents high potential in energy conservation [1].The use of TES can overcome the lack of coincidence between the energy supply and its demand; its application in active and passive systems allows the use of waste energy, peak
Abstract A unique substance or material that releases or absorbs enough energy during a phase shift is known as a phase change material (PCM). Usually, one of the first two fundamental states of matter—solid or liquid—will change into the other. Phase change materials for thermal energy storage (TES) have excellent capability for providing thermal
