The viability of thermal energy storage

With rising energy costs and an ina-easing demand for renewable energy sour ces, thermal energy storage (TES) systems are becoming an interesting optio n. TES is a key component of any successful thermal system and a good TES s hould allow, minimum thermal energy losses. In this study, various ways of thermal conservation are outlined and discussed, both theoretical and exper imental. In this respect, the TES systems and their practical applications and some selection criteria have also been given.
