Thermal storage systems for heat and cold are essential components of almost all energy saving schemes. They have the potential to bridge effective the gap between intermittent, discontinuous or unsynchronised heat supply and heat demand. Due to the wide ranging applications and energy sources, numerous solutions for optimum storage concepts must exist, each for specific applications. These concepts will vary with respect to thermal storage mechanisms, materials, capacities, load profiles and acceptable storage costs. Thermal storage of energy is a key question in all aspects of energy consumption and supply.
