Why thermal storage?

  • Supply and demand for heat / cool not coincident
  • Increase in capacity without bigger equipment
  • Better operation of co-gen plants
  • Dispatchability of solar thermal electric plants
  • Shift energy purchase to low-cost period
  • Increase system reliability
  • Integration with other functions
