Thermal energy storage (TES) is the storage of for later reuse. Employing widely different technologies, it allows thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months. Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region. Usage examples are the balancing of energy demand between daytime and nighttime, storing summer.

Several sensible thermal energy storage technologies have been tested and implemented since 1985. These include the two-tank direct system, two-tank indirect system, and single-tank thermocline system. Solar thermal energy in this system is stored in the same fluid used to collect. . In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun's rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use. This enables CSP systems to be flexible, or dispatchable, options for providing clean, renewable. . Several solar thermal power facilities in the United States have two or more solar power plants with separate arrays and generators. Solar thermal power systems may also have a thermal energy storage system that collects heat in an energy storage system during the day, and the heat from the storage. . To eliminate its intermittence feature, thermal energy storage is vital for efficient and stable operation of solar energy utilization systems. [1][2] The 280 MW plant is designed to provide six hours of energy storage.
