Thermal energy storage. Annual report, January 1979-March 1980

Technical Report · Mon Dec 31 23:00:00 EST 1979

OSTI ID:5284267

The DOE Division of Energy Storage Systems (DOE/STOR) is responsible for formulating and managing research and development in energy storage technology. Major responsibility for project management in selected areas has been shifted to the DOE national laboratories and other government agencies. NASA Lewis Research Center (LeRC) was given the primary responsibility for the development of high-temperature sensible and latent heat storage technology via Interagency Agreement EC-77-A31-1034. This report describes not only the planning/implementation of activities associated with an acting lead center management role but also the technical accomplishments pertaining to high temperature thermal energy storage subsystems. Major elements reported are: 1.0 Program Definition and Assessment, 2.0 Research and Technology Development, 3.0 Industrial Storage Applications, 4.0 Solar Thermal Power Storage Applications, and 5.0 Building Heating and Cooling Applications.
