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 valorizing solar heat and reducing the energy demand of buildings. The principles of several energy storage methods and calculation of storage capacities are described. Sensible heat storage technologies, including water tank, underground, and packed-bed storage methods, are briefly reviewed. Additionally, latent-heat storage systems associated with phase-change materials for use in solar heating/cooling of buildings, solar water heating, heat-pump systems, and concentrating solar power plants as well as thermo-chemical storage are discussed. Finally, cool thermal energy storage is also briefly reviewed and outstanding information on the performance and costs of TES systems are included.

“…For example, Sun et al [4] reviewed peak load shifting control strategies using cold TES facilities in commercial buildings. Pintaldi et al [5] reviewed and evaluated control strategies for optimally managing TES for solar air-conditioning plants. ASHRAE [6] summarized different control strategies for centralized cooling and heating systems with and without TES, focusing on strategies associated with cost optimization.…”

“…Latent-heat storage involves phase change which can later be reversed to collect the stored heat. Pintaldi et al (2015) and Kuravi et al (2013) provided a review of thermal energy storage technologies for solar systems. Guédez et al (2014) proposed an optimization approach for thermal storage systems for solar power plants.…”
