Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and power generation. TES
Additionally, safety concerns can arise with certain battery technologies, such as the risk of thermal runaway and fires in some lithium-ion systems. It is essential to consider the

The energy is brought to the surface and can be used to generate electricity or process heat, making the system adaptable for different industrial applications, and potentially converting
In these applications, solar collectors and thermal energy storage systems are the two core components. This paper focuses on the latest developments and advances in solar thermal applications, providing a review of solar collectors and thermal energy storage systems.
This review highlights the latest advancements in thermal energy storage systems for renewable energy, examining key technological breakthroughs in phase change materials (PCMs), sensible thermal storage, and hybrid storage systems. Practical applications in managing solar and wind energy in residential and industrial settings are analyzed.
Solar energy has a one-day period, meaning that the ‘long term’ storage requirements is based on hours. In that context, thermal energy storage technology has become an essential part of CSP systems, as it can be seen in Fig. 13, and has been highlighted over this review.
These are studied in terms of optical optimisation, heat loss reduction, heat recuperation enhancement and different sun-tracking mechanisms. Various types of thermal energy storage systems are also reviewed and discussed, including sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, chemical storage and cascaded storage.
A recent study evaluated the effectiveness of TES in solar plants, showing how thermal storage capacity significantly improves operational efficiency and production stability [2, 8].
A notable example is the use of TES in cogeneration plants, where thermal storage allows for maximizing the energy generated and reducing fossil fuel consumption [79, 93].
