The Department of Energy (DOE) is supporting development of thermal energy storage (TES) as a means of efficiently coupling energy supplies to variable heating or cooling demands. Uses of TES include electrical demand-side management in buildings and industry, extending the utilization of renewable energy resources such as solar, and recovery of waste heat from periodic industrial processes. Technical progress in development of TES for specific diurnal and industrial applications under Oak Ridge National Laboratory's TES program from April 1989 to March 1990 is reported.
