While space conditioning load contributes largely in grid critical peak, shifting a part or full to the off-peak period could have significant economic effects on both energy supply and demand sides. This shifting technique is accomplished by storing energy during off-peak periods to be utilized...

Heat demand in a district heating system can have a significant variation within 1day, which produces problematic conditions for efficient heat generation. Short-term thermal energy storage can decrease this daily variation and make the conditions for generating heat more favorable. By...

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) has been a topic of research for quite some time and has proven to be a technology that can have positive effects on the energy efficiency of a building by contributing to an increased share of renewable energy and/or reduction in energy demand or peak loads for both...
