Summary: Solar thermal power generation relies heavily on efficient energy storage to overcome intermittent sunlight availability. This article explores mainstream storage technologies like molten salt systems, phase-change materials, and thermochemical storage while analyzing real-world. . Thermal energy storage (TES) refers to heat that is stored for later use—either to generate electricity on demand or for use in industrial processes. Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) plants utilize TES to increase flexibility so they can be used as “peaker” plants that supply electricity. . The system works a bit like existing solar water heaters, but with chemical heat storage.
