Abstract
Energy storage technologies are the most suitable solution due to the output characteristics of renewable energy sources. One of the energy storage technologies is thermal energy storage method. Thermal energy storage is cost-effective and simple structure compared to other types of storage. Thermal energy storage systems are widely used in our daily life. It is used for hot water use and heating, especially in residential applications. Solar thermal system structure and thermal energy storage technologies are explained in this chapter. Sensible heat and latent heat classification of thermal energy storage technologies has been explained. Sensible heat energy storage methods are mentioned in this chapter. These methods are thermal storage with air, thermal storage with liquid, and thermal storage with underground systems. Latent heat energy storage system is explained, and the heat transfer graph during phase change is given. In addition, the benefits, economy, and usage areas of thermal energy storage systems are given in this chapter.
