Thermal energy storage is a family of technologies in which a fluid, such as water or molten salt, or other material is used to store heat. This thermal storage material is then stored in an insulated tank until the energy is needed. The energy may be used directly for heating and cooling, or it can be used to generate electricity.
There are several approaches to classifying energy storage systems (see Chaps. 1 and 2). Storage systems are used in a large number of different technologies at various stages of development, and in a wide range of application areas (see Chaps. 3 to 5). This chapter compares the capabilities of the different storage systems using the following
Thermal energy is transferred from one form of energy into a storage medium in heat storage systems. As a result, heat can be stored as a form of energy. Briefly, heat storage is defined as the change in temperature or phase in a medium. Figure 2.6

There are several approaches to classifying energy storage systems. The most common approach is classification according to physical form of energy and basic operating principle: electric (electromagnetic), electrochemical/chemical, mechanical, thermal.
For example, mechanical-energy storage systems include the subgroup of potential energy storage systems such as pump-storage plants (PSP), as well as the subgroup of kinetic energy storage systems such as flywheels.
These classifications lead to the division of energy storage into five main types: i) mechanical energy storage, ii) chemical energy storage, iii) electrochemical energy storage, iv) electrostatic and electromagnetic energy storage, and v) thermal energy storage, as illustrated in (Figure 2).
In purely scientific terms, the storage unit, or simply the container that stores the energy carrier, is the (energy) storage system. In addition, energy converters are required for charging, discharging, and operating the peripherals. Together these units compose an energy storage system, which is also commonly called simply a storage system.
The book is organized into seven chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of energy storage system, when and why humans need to store energy, and presents a general classification of energy storage systems (ESS) according to their nature: mechanical, thermal, electrical, electrochemical and chemical.
