Thermal Energy Storage for the Complex Energy Systems

Abstract

Thermal energy systems (TES) systems contribute to the on-going process leading to greater integration between different energy systems in order to achieve cleaner and more sustainable use of energy resources. This paper reviews the current literature showing the development and deployment of TES-based solutions in power grid-connected systems. These solutions integrate the energy system to gain new potential for energy management, make better use of renewable energy (RES) resources, modernize energy system infrastructure, facilitate network operation practices that include energy conversion and service delivery. The network is cost-effective, facilitating. This paper provides a complementary look at other investigations into energy storage technologies and materials for TES and TES building applications and electrical energy storage aids for network applications. The main aspects discussed are the features, parameters, and models of TES systems, the deployment of TES in variable RES systems, small networks, multi-power networks, and emerging trends for TES applications.
