Several sensible thermal energy storage technologies have been tested and implemented since 1985. These include the two-tank direct system, two-tank indirect system, and single-tank thermocline system. Solar thermal energy in this system is stored in the same fluid used to collect it.
These include the two-tank direct system, two-tank indirect system, and single-tank thermocline system. Solar thermal energy in this system is stored in the same fluid used to collect it. The fluid is stored in two tanks—one at high temperature and the other at low temperature.
Solar thermal storage (STS) refers to the accumulation of energy collected by a given solar field for its later use. In the context of this chapter, STS technologies are installed to provide the solar plant with partial or full dispatchability, so that the plant output does not depend strictly in time on the input, i.e., the solar irradiation.
