An overview of thermal energy storage systems
Thermal energy storage at temperatures in the range of 100 °C-250 °C is considered as medium temperature heat storage. At these temperatures, water exists as steam in atmospheric pressure and has vapor pressure. Typical applications in this temperature range are drying, steaming, boiling, sterilizing, cooking etc.
Energy Storage
The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage). Thermal energy storage systems can be as simple as hot-water tanks, but more advanced technologies can store energy more densely (e.g., molten salts ...
