Abstract

Sorption Thermal Energy Storage (STES) systems are deemed superior to conventional sensible and phase-change Thermal Energy Storage (TES) options owing to their remarkably high volume/mass-based stored energy densities and long-term storage capabilities with negligible heat loss. The STES systems exchange energy through reversible chemical reactions between a sorbent (i.e., solid or liquid desiccant) and a sorbate (i.e., refrigerant). However, the adaptation and widespread acceptance of STES systems, particularly liquid-desiccant-based STES systems, have been plagued by several challenges including their low power densities at which the stored energy can be extracted.
