Abstract:

Thermal energy storage (TES) technology is crucial for balancing fluctuations in renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency and increasing the flexibility of energy systems. This article highlights key insights from the "China Thermal Energy Storage Industry Development Report (2024)," providing a comprehensive overview of China's thermal energy storage industry. It focuses on the current state of thermal storage technology, its development, and notable demonstrations within the industry. The article also covers three main types of thermal energy storage technologies: sensible, latent, and thermochemical. Each technology is characterized by its characteristics and suitable applications, along with key parameters such as heat storage capacity and stability. The market scale, development trends, and relevant policies affecting the thermal storage industry are summarized. The article also emphasizes typical demonstrations of TES technology across various sectors, including buildings, district heating and cooling, power sector, and industrial processes. These examples showcase the practical applications and effectiveness of TES technology, offering valuable insights and experiences for industry promotion.

Key words: thermal energy storage technology, sensible thermal energy, latent thermal energy, thermochemical energy, project demonstration, industry technology
