Thermal energy storage (TES) is the storage of thermal energy for later reuse. Employing widely different technologies, it allows thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months. Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region. Usage examples are the balancing of energy demand between daytime and nighttime, storing summer. CategoriesThe kinds of thermal energy storage can be divided into three separate categories: sensible heat, latent heat,.
