Thermal Energy Storage

Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that reserves thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium and then uses the stored energy later for electricity generation using a heat engine cycle (Sarbu and Sebarchievici, 2018 ). It can shift the electrical loads, which indicates its ability to operate in demand-side management
