4 FAQs about Solar energy storage for seasonal changes

What is seasonal solar energy storage?

Seasonal solar energy storage, which involves storing excess solar thermal energy during non-heating seasons and releasing it during heating seasons, is an effective technology to achieve the balance between building energy supply and demand.

Is seasonal thermochemical energy storage a viable solution?

Seasonal thermochemical energy storage (TCES) offers a viable solution by enabling the temporary storage of thermal energy in summer for subsequent winter use. However, the practical application of seasonal TCES technology is limited due to a lack of dynamic performance analysis, control method formulation, and comprehensive system evaluation.

Why is seasonal energy storage important?

These low-carbon energy sources also tend to abate during the fall and winter months. To accommodate the use of this variable energy throughout the year the grid may benefit from economically viable seasonal energy storage to shift energy from one season to another.
