Temperature Energy Storage System

Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and power generation. TES systems are used particularly in buildings and in industrial processes. The study of a CaO-CO 2 high-temperature energy storage system with three different techniques for storing the dissociated CO 2 gas (in the form of compressed gas, other carbonate, or adsorbed CO 2 in an appropriate adsorbent like zeolite or activated carbon) was carried out by Kyaw et al.
