Phase Change Materials (PCMs)
Phase change materials are substances that can store and release large amounts of thermal energy during the process of melting and solidifying. They are used in various applications such as building insulation, solar energy storage, and waste heat recovery.
Thermal Energy Storage Tanks
Thermal energy storage tanks store hot or cold water for later use in heating or cooling systems. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings to reduce energy consumption during peak demand periods.
Underground Thermal Energy Storage (UTES)
UTES systems store excess thermal energy in the ground for later use in heating and cooling buildings. They are cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions for energy storage.
Thermochemical Energy Storage
Thermochemical energy storage systems use chemical reactions to store and release thermal energy. They offer high energy density and long-term storage capabilities, making them suitable for renewable energy integration.
Ice Thermal Energy Storage
Ice thermal energy storage systems produce and store ice during off-peak hours for later use in air conditioning systems. They help reduce electricity costs and peak demand on the grid.
Molten Salt Thermal Energy Storage
Molten salt thermal energy storage systems use high-temperature salts to store and release thermal energy. They are commonly used in concentrated solar power plants for continuous electricity generation.
Air Thermal Energy Storage
Air thermal energy storage systems use compressed air to store and release thermal energy. They are suitable for large-scale energy storage and grid stabilization.
Battery Thermal Energy Storage
Battery thermal energy storage systems use rechargeable batteries to store and release thermal energy. They are versatile and can be integrated with renewable energy sources for grid stability.
Flywheel Energy Storage
Flywheel energy storage systems store kinetic energy in a rotating mass for later use. They provide fast response times and high power output for grid stabilization.
Hydrogen Energy Storage
Hydrogen energy storage systems convert electrical energy into hydrogen gas through electrolysis for later use in fuel cells or combustion engines. They offer long-duration energy storage and can be used for transportation and power generation.
