Evidence Gathering: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Technologies Executive summary Thermal energy storage (TES), specifically heat storage in the UK, may have a key role to play in supporting the achievement of the UK’s future decarbonisation targets for heat and electricity. Specifically it can help mitigate the following three challenges:  Help balance additional strains on the UK electricity grid from demand patterns of heat pumps and other electricity based heating technologies, as well as intermittent production of renewable energy.  Time constrained heat production, e.g. from solar based technologies that only generate during daytime, or only in summer.  Smooth supply and demand patterns, which constrain or reduce efficiency for low carbon heating. TES refers to the concept of storing energy in the form of heat or coolth, enabling its use at a later time for heating, cooling or power generation. TES applications are able to store heat on an intra-day basis, from one day to another, on a weekly basis, as well as providing interseasonal storage. Application types vary widely across individual domestic houses, multi-user buildings, large commercial buildings, district heating, town and potentially even regional thermal energy storage. TES can be divided into three categories: sensible, latent and thermochemical heat storage. Sensible heat storage includes tank (TTES), pit (PTES), borehole (BTES) and aquifer (ATES) thermal energy storage – electric storage heaters also fall within the sensible heat category, but were not included in the scope for this report – a short summary is provided in the main report. Latent heat storage uses different types of phase change materials (PCM), while thermochemical heat storage (THS) refers to the use of reversible chemical reactions to store heat. Table 1 outlines what type of TES can be used or could potentially be used for different types of applications.
