A thermal energy battery is a physical structure used for the purpose of storing and releasing thermal energy. Such a thermal battery (a.k.a.

[PDF Version]It is a relatively new technology that has gained popularity due to its ability to store renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. The concept of a heat battery is simple: it stores heat during times when excess energy is produced and releases it when there is a shortage of energy.
A thermal energy battery is a physical structure used for the purpose of storing and releasing thermal energy. Such a thermal battery (a.k.a. TBat) allows energy available at one time to be temporarily stored and then released at another time.
However, instead of using chemicals to store energy, a heat battery uses a phase change material (PCM) such as sodium acetate or paraffin wax. The PCM is contained within a storage unit that is insulated to reduce heat loss. When excess energy is produced, it is used to heat the PCM, causing it to change from a solid to a liquid state.
The different kinds of thermal energy storage can be divided into three separate categories: sensible heat, latent heat, and thermo-chemical heat storage. Each of these has different advantages and disadvantages that determine their applications. Sensible heat storage (SHS) is the most straightforward method.
Thermal energy storage (TES) is the storage of thermal energy for later reuse. Employing widely different technologies, it allows surplus thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months. Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region.
Other sources of thermal energy for storage include heat or cold produced with heat pumps from off-peak, lower cost electric power, a practice called peak shaving; heat from combined heat and power (CHP) power plants; heat produced by renewable electrical energy that exceeds grid demand and waste heat from industrial processes.
