In this paper we explore the tradeoffs between thermal storage capacity, cost, and other system parameters in order to … current hybrid plants, to plants with a modest amount of thermal storage, and potentially even to plants with sufficient … thermal storage to provide base load generation capacity. The regional and global potential of thermal CSP technologies was …

This paper presents a case study of underground thermal storage in a solar-ground coupled heat pump system (SGCHPS) for … results show that the performance of underground thermal storage of SGCHPS depends strongly on the intensity of the solar … day time. In the present study, the experimental efficiency of underground thermal storage based on the absorbed solar …

Enhancing the cooling process of water in a cool-thermal storage system is investigated in this paper. The system is …

-dimensional unsteady numerical experiments are conducted for four design parameters of a stratified thermal storage tank: Three design … determine the main factors for the optimum design of a stratified thermal storage tank. In the range of parameters considered … the performance of a stratified thermal storage tank. …
