Packed beds are generally used for storage of thermal energy from solar air heaters. A packed bed is a volume of porus media obtained by packing particles of selected material into a container.
These studies included the design of packed beds, materials used for storage, heat transfer enhancement, flow phenomenon and pressure drop through packed beds. This paper presents an extensive review on the research carried out on packed beds.

Despite its relative simplicity and efficiency, this technology is expensive and requires huge amounts of nitrate salts. In the short to medium term, packed-bed thermal energy storage with either liquid or gaseous heat transfer fluid is a promising alternative to reduce storage costs and hence improve the development of solar energy.
The present review covers the sensible heat based packed bed solar thermal energy storage systems for low temperature applications.
Packed bed solar energy storage systems are designed to absorb and store solar energy in the form of heat using materials with high thermal conductivity. These materials, such as rocks, sand, or ceramics, are placed in an insulated container and packed densely to optimize their heat storage capacity.
This paper focuses on the evolution of thermal energy storage systems based on packed beds, which find extensive usage in the most useful solar installations we currently have on the planet: concentrated solar plants (CSPs).
This review describes two different particle technologies used to store thermal energy: packed and fluidized beds. The advantages and disadvantages of both technologies are reviewed throughout different studies found in the literature for various thermal energy storage systems.
The article reviews various efficient systems, including lithium-ion batteries, thermal energy storage, pumped hydro storage, compressed air storage, and liquid air energy
