Abstract
The performance of several solar energy storage vessels is extensively tested and recorded according to the CSTG procedure and their efficie ncies in energy delivering is calculated. The stratification inside th e vessels is determined by matching the profiles to predictions from a layers-in-series model. The model is extended to account for dead spa ces inside the vessel and is proven to be useful in evaluating the per formance of stratified solar energy storage vessels.
