Energy storage is one of the hot points of research in electrical power engineering as it is essential in power systems. It can improve power system stability, shorten energy generation environmental influence, enhance system efficiency, and also raise renewable energy source penetrations.
TES systems are divided into two categories: low temperature energy storage (LTES) system and high temperature energy storage (HTES) system, based on the operating temperature of the energy storage material in relation to the ambient temperature [17, 23]. LTES is made up of two components: aquiferous low-temperature TES (ALTES) and cryogenic
