Thermal energy storage (TES) is the storage of thermal energy for later reuse.Employing widely different technologies, it allows surplus thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months.Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region. Usage examples are the balancing of energy demand between daytime.

Thermal energy storage (TES) is increasingly important due to the demand-supply challenge caused by the intermittency of renewable energy and waste heat dissipation to the environment. This paper discusses the fundamentals and novel applications of TES materials and identifies appropriate TES materials for particular applications.
Sensible heat thermal energy storage materials store heat energy in their specific heat capacity (C p). The thermal energy stored by sensible heat can be expressed as (1) Q = m · C p · Δ T where m is the mass (kg), C p is the specific heat capacity (kJ.kg −1.K −1) and ΔT is the raise in temperature during charging process.
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems store heat or cold for later use and are classified into sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical heat storage. Sensible heat storage systems raise the temperature of a material to store heat. Latent heat storage systems use PCMs to store heat through melting or solidifying.
Thermal energy (i.e. heat and cold) can be stored as sensible heat in heat stor-age media, as latent heat associated with phase change materials (PCMs) or as thermo-chemical energy associated with chemical reactions (i.e. thermo-chemical storage) at operation temperatures ranging from -40°C to above 400°C.
