What is seasonal thermal energy storage (STES)?
Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) harvests and stores sustainable heat sources, such as solar thermal energy and waste heat, in summer and uses them in winter for heating purposes, facilitating the replacement of fossil fuel-based heat supply and coordinating the seasonal mismatch between heat supply and demand .
What is thermal energy storage?
Thermal energy storage in buildings can be used to adjust the timing of electricity demand to better match intermittent supply and to satisfy distribution constraints. TES for building heating and cooling applications predominantly utilizes sensible and latent heat technologies at low temperatures (i.e., near room temperature).
