Abstract

Due to the increase in volatile renewable power and heat generation (wind or solar), thermal energy storage (TES) has obtained growing importance and interest. The technology can be distinguished into three main types: sensible, latent and thermochemical storage. Apart from low and medium temperature heat applications, high temperature TES also is an attractive means to store power in the form of heat (before the thermodynamic transformation process). Thermochemical storage allows for long duration seasonal storage of energy.

Zusammenfassung

Zufolge der Zunahme der Erzeugung von Strom und Wärme aus volatilen erneuerbaren Quellen wie Sonne oder Wind hat auch die thermische Energieerzeugung enorm an Bedeutung und Interesse gewonnen. Die Technologien werden nach dem Grundprinzip üblicherweise in sensible, latente und thermochemische Speicherung unterschieden. Abgesehen von Wärme-Anwendungen im Niedrig- und Mittel-Temperatur-Bereich, bietet die Hochtemperatur-Wärmespeicherung attraktive Lösungen auch zur Speicherung von Strom, indem die Wärme noch vor der Transformation im thermodynamischen Prozess gespeichert wird. Thermochemische Speicherung hat das Potential, längerfristig Energie zu speichern.
