Solar thermal energy can be stored as sensible heat, latent heat, reaction heat, or a combination of the three (Gençer and Agrawal, 2018). Most agricultural applications are short-term (daily) storage ( Zhou et al., 2017 ) that can handle only a small portion of the heat load and may not be sufficient during continuous overcast or rainy days.
Known as pumped thermal electricity storage—or PTES—these systems use grid electricity and heat pumps to alternate between heating and cooling materials in tanks—creating stored energy that can then be used to generate power as needed. Coupled with CSP systems, this new technology can increase plant efficiency, dispatchability, and ...
