How it Works
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) can play a significant role in the efficient use and provision of thermal energy whenever there is a mismatch between energy generation and use.
​
Energy may be stored in many ways ( e.g. electrical, chemical, kinetic,...), since large parts of the US and global economy involves thermal energy, the need to store thermal energy must be taken seriously.

Intermittent energy production systems are able to provide a steady temperature process heat with the help of TES batteries
Various intermittent energy sources could be used to charge the TES battery:
​ -Solar PV Systems
-Solar Thermal Systems

The output of the TES battery can be utilized in two ways:
- Process Heat (≈ 90% efficient)
- Electricity Generation (≈40% efficient)
-With Time of Use plans it can help avoid peak charges
-Curtailed Power from an Energy Grid
-On or Off Shore Wind Energy
