Application Guide for Large Thermal Energy Storage

Thermal energy storage (TES) allows the use of intermittently generated energy (energy available only during certain periods, such as that from wind or solar), or energy waste streams from industrial processes, and can be designed to charge, store, and discharge energy daily, weekly, or seasonally.
Application Guide for Large Thermal Energy Storage examines the analysis of large thermal energy storage conducted by an international team led by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL), and sponsored by the office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Energy and Sustainability.
The analysis of 10 cold/moderate climate zones and 8 hot climate zones was conducted to determine under which circumstances large-scale TES improves energy supply systems’ resilience, reduces CO2 emissions, and is cost-effective in different climates, energy prices, and economic incentives.
