Solid state sensible thermal energy storage (TES) systems have emerged as a viable method of heat storage especially with the prospect of using natural stones as heat storage media which are cheap, locally available, and harmless to the environmental.
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) has been a key technology in energy systems for conserving energy and increasing energy efficiency by addressing the discrepancy between energy supply and demand. TES involves storage of high- or low-temperature thermal energy in the form of sensible heat, latent heat, or through thermochemical reactions or processes.
An overview of major strategies for thermal energy storage is shown in Fig. 1. Sensible heat storage is based on storing thermal energy by heating or cooling a liquid or solid medium (e.g. water, sand, molten salts, rocks), with water being the most widely used because of its relatively high heat capacity, low cost, and being benign .
In industrial sectors which include, food processing, textile, beverage manufacturing and pharmaceutical productions, cost-effective solid-state heat storage systems can be used to recover waste heat from processes like cooking, sterilization, and drying among others.
However, in general sensible heat storage requires large volumes because of its low energy density (i.e. three or five times lower than that of latent and thermochemical energy storage systems, respectively) . Furthermore, sensible heat storage systems require proper design to discharge thermal energy at constant temperatures. Fig. 1.
Also, heat storage systems can play a crucial role in enhancing efficient use of thermal energy by enabling recovery of heat from industries that produce waste heat during their operations.
