Thermal energy storage program diurnal and industrial

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6375612
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with supporting development of technologies that improve the energy and environmental posture of the country in terms of increased energy efficiency and implementation of fuel switching strategies that emphasize greater reliance on indigenous energy resources. As an enabling technique for utilization of renewable energy resources and for improvement of utility load factors, thermal energy storage (TES) can play a vital role. Development of TES technologies by DOE for diurnal and industrial applications is continuing; current efforts are directed toward initiation of technology transfer activities in major application areas. This paper presents an overview of activities in the Diurnal and Industrial TES Subprograms and describes near term paths to the transfer of technology in specific application areas.
