SEASONAL THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE CONCEPTS

Lavinia Gabriela SOCACIU

Abstract


The energy storage systems can contribute significantly to meeting society`s need for more efficient, greening use in building heating and cooling, and domestic hot water applications. Another significant advantage of efficient energy storage is that, although it may have been designed primarily for the storage of solar energy, it is not restricted to that. This literature review paper attempts to summarize developments of seasonal solar thermal energy storage, using different storage concepts. The aim is to provide the basis for development of new intelligent seasonal thermal energy storage possibilities for use in combination with space heating and domestic hot water applications.

Key words: thermal energy storage, heat storage, storage of thermal energy, seasonal heat storage, technologies for seasonal heat storage, sensible energy storage, latent energy storage, thermo chemical energy storage
