Abstract: The low quality heat energies associated from heavy energy-consuming enterprises, and there exists temporal mismatch contradiction of supply and demand, are difficult to be employed by traditional transportation mode of pipe. However, the mobilized thermal energy storage and supply technology is an organic combination of energy harvesting, energy storage and delivery, and energy supply, and spurn many malpractices of transportation mode of pipe. In the first place, in the article, the current situations of basic research and engineering application of the mobilized thermal energy storage at home and abroad were analyzed in detail, and on the basic, the problems faced of the mobilized thermal energy storage technology were included. After that, a scheme of mobilized waste heat modular storage was proposed, and the application mode and the economy about that scheme mentioned above were expounded exhaustively. Last but not the least, the market prospect and industrialization of the mobilized thermal energy storage technology were forecasted.

Key words: mobilized thermal energy storage and supply technology, modular storage, low quality heat energy
