Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and power generation. TES systems are used particularly in buildings and in industrial processes. This paper is focused on TES technologies that provide a way of
The industrial cold stores can act as thermal energy stores that can store the energy as passive thermal energy. The cold stores have intentions to contribute with flexible consumption but need some knowledge about the potential. By cooling the cold stores and the goods further down when the energy is cheaper, there is a potential of an attractive business
Latent heat storage (LHS) is characterized by a high volumetric thermal energy storage capacity compared to sensible heat storage (SHS). The use of LHS is found to be more competitive and attractive in many applications due to the reduction in the required storage volume [7], [8].The use of LHS is advantageous in applications where the high volume and
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems provide both environmental and economical benefits by reducing the need for burning fuels. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems have one simple purpose. That is preventing the loss of thermal energy by storing excess heat until it is consumed. Almost in every human activity, heat is produced.

Thermal energy storage (TES) systems store heat or cold for later use and are classified into sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical heat storage. Sensible heat storage systems raise the temperature of a material to store heat. Latent heat storage systems use PCMs to store heat through melting or solidifying.
As shown in Fig. 1 (b) and (c), a nighttime cold energy storage system (CESS) has an additional cold energy storage tank connected to chillers, unlike the conventional air conditioning system.
