There are several types of STES technology, covering a range of applications from single small buildings to community district heating networks. Generally, efficiency increases and the specific construction cost decreases with size. UTES (underground thermal energy storage), in which the storage medium may be geological strata ranging from earth or sand to solid bedrock, or aquifers. UTES technologies include:
From Minor Player to Major League: Moving Beyond 4
Energy storage with more than four hours of duration could play an important role in integrating lots of renewable energy onto the U.S. power grid, but it makes up less than 10% of the storage deployed since 2010.

6 FAQs about [Energy storage summer]
What is seasonal thermal energy storage (STES)?
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.
Could thermal energy storage save summer heat?
Image showing heat loss from a house. New research on thermal energy storage could lead to summer heat being stored for use in winter. Credit: Active Building Centre, Swansea University Funding to research thermal energy storage that could cut bills and boost renewables.
Does seasonal thermal energy storage provide economic competitiveness against existing heating options?
Revelation of economic competitiveness of STES against existing heating options. 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 fossil-based back up. This paper presents a techno-economic literature review of STES.
What is thermal energy storage?
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.
How can thermal energy storage reduce energy demand?
An effective method of reducing this energy demand is the storage and use of waste heat through the application of seasonal thermal energy storage, used to address the mismatch between supply and demand and greatly increasing the efficiency of renewable resources.
What are construction concepts for large or seasonal thermal energy storage systems?
Fig. 1. Construction concepts for large or seasonal thermal energy storage systems and their advantages and disadvantages . 2.1.1. Tank thermal energy storage (TTES) A tank thermal energy storage system generally consists of reinforced concrete or stainless-steel tanks as storage containers, with water serving as the heat storage medium.
