Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES), also known as inter-seasonal thermal energy storage, is the storage of heat or cold for periods of up to several months. The thermal energy ...
Seasonal storage of solar energy or waste heat from combined heat and power generation (CHP), i.e. with biogas, offers a great potential to substitute fossil fuels in future energy systems.
Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) holds great promise for storing summer heat for winter use. It allows renewable resources to meet the seasonal heat demand without resorting to
The seasonal heat storage technology stores the surplus solar energy in spring, summer, and autumn and releases it for large-scale regional centralized heating
USES4HEAT aims to demonstrate innovative, large scale, seasonal thermal energy storage (TES) solutions enabling a future decarbonized and reliable heating
This study reviews thermal energy storage (TES) and Power-to-X (P2X) technologies for applications without thermal grids, assessing their
Thermal energy storage dates to the times when humans lived in natural caves. Caves are warm in winter and cold in summer when compared to the outside temperature. Cave dwellers took
Seasonal storage of solar thermal energy through supercooled phase change materials (PCM) offers a promising solution for decarbonizing space and water heating in winter.

Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES), also known as inter-seasonal thermal energy storage, is the storage of heat or cold for periods of up to several months. The thermal energy can be collected whenever it is available and be used whenever needed, such as in the opposing season. For example, heat from solar collectors or waste heat from air conditioning equipment can be gathered in hot months for space heating use when needed, including during winter months. Waste heat from industrial proce
The scope of this paper is to outline a framework to define the need for seasonal energy storage, identify a list of technologies that may be suitable for meeting the need, and pro-pose key economic
