4 FAQs about [Ouagadougou solar thermal energy storage]
Why is thermal energy storage important?
Thermal energy storage (TES) can help to integrate high shares of renewable energy in power generation, industry and buildings. This outlook identifies priorities for research and development. Transforming the global energy system in line with global climate and sustainability goals calls for rapid uptake of renewables for all kinds of energy use.
Why do solar collectors need a thermal energy storage system?
Because of the unstable and intermittent nature of solar energy availability, a thermal energy storage system is required to integrate with the collectors to store thermal energy and retrieve it whenever it is required.
What is combined thermal energy storage?
Combined thermal energy storage is the novel approach to store thermal energy by combining both sensible and latent storage. Based on the literature review, it was found that most of the researchers carried out their work on sensible and latent storage systems with the different storage media and heat transfer fluids.
