A Thermal Energy Storage system is part of the Long Duration Energy Storage System (LDES). It is considered a primary alternative to solar and wind energy. In 2020, the global market for Thermal Energy Storage was valued at $20.8 billion and is expected to increase and reach $51.3 billion by 2030.
During peak shine hour, the thermal energy storage absorbs heat energy and supplies it for heating of food products during absence of solar power. Solar dryer assisted with thermal energy storage are studied numerically, experimentally and theoretically by many researchers.
Hence, solar dryers are generally incorporated with thermal energy storage systems to deal with such constraints. TES systems are generally categorized as sensible, latent, and thermo-chemical heat storage systems based on the type of heat energy involved during operations.
In comparison the total electric storage capacity by the end of 2021 amounts to 8.3 GWh4. In brief, solar thermal systems installed in Europe have a combined energy storage capacity 20 times higher than the total power storage capacity available. Storage capacity is essential for the flexibility of the energy system.
For regions with an abundance of solar energy, solar thermal energy storage technology offers tremendous potential for ensuring energy security, minimizing carbon footprints, and reaching sustainable development goals. Global energy demand soared because of the economy’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
