Technical FAQs 4

Can thermal energy storage reduce solar energy production?

One challenge facing the widespread use of solar energy is reduced or curtailed energy production when the sun sets or is blocked by clouds. Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to this challenge.

Can solar heat be used for cooling?

In hot seasons or hot regions, solar heat can be used to create cooling via thermally driven refrigerators, e.g., absorption chillers. Thermal energy storage is frequently involved in these solar heating/cooling systems, as it provides much more stable energy delivery capability and closes the gap between energy generation and demand.

How does thermal energy storage work?

Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to this challenge. In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun's rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use.

Why is solar heat storage important?

Solar heat storage technology is urgently needed to harness intermittent solar energy to directly drive widespread heat-related applications. However, achieving high-efficiency solar heat storage remains elusive due to the loss of heat to the surroundings, especially through radiative processes.
