The concept of a forced stratified thermal energy storage tank which has multiple compartments divided by insulating and permeable horizontal plates is proposed for energy conservation. Performance of this tank is evaluated by a relatively simple evaluation method and compared with the ideal perfect stratified thermal energy storage tank and perfect mixed thermal energy storage tank. It is suggested that the performance of the forced stratified thermal energy storage tank is high and nearly comparable with the perfect stratified thermal energy storage tank.
