Sensible heat thermal storage systems have been under development for several years as part of the Solar Thermal Technology Program at the U.S. Department of Energy. In 1982, construction was completed on a pilot plant scale dual media thermocline storage unit, a first generation storage technology, at Solar One near Barstow, California. Also constructed in 1982 was an engineering prototype molten nitrate salt, single media, dual tank storage unit, a second-generation storage technology, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The preliminary assessment of these storage units indicate the concepts are technically feasible and operate according to design.
