Thermal energy storage technical progress report, April 1988--March 1989

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7160562
;
The Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with supporting development of technologies that improve the energy and environmental posture of the nation in terms of increased energy efficiency and 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. Progress in the development of TES technologies under Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL) TES Program for the period April 1988 to March 1989 is reported. Each of the projects in the diurnal and industrial TES subprogram is discussed, and their integrated role in support of major application areas is defined. 13 refs., 33 figs., 2 tabs.
