The 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. It simply means the temperature of some medium is either increased or decreased. This type of storage is the most commercially availabl
Solar Thermal Storage
Due to thermal stratification effect in the storage tank, the water in the tank is heated, and the thermal energy is thus stored. The warm water then flows back to the collector inlet hydronic port by gravity,
