Heat batteries quietly solve a major transition gap, storing surplus renewable electricity as heat.

Aquifer thermal energy storage systems can largely contribute to climate-friendly heating and cooling of buildings: Heated water is stored in the underground and pumped up, if needed. Researchers have ...

According to Simonsen, the new thermal batteries achieve efficiency improvements from 65% to 85%, with charging time reduced ...

Researchers at Yonsei University have unveiled a breakthrough “thermal sponge” capable of slashing annual ...

As energy storage projects grow around the world, driven by an increase in renewable energy generation and the integration of such into grid operations a troubling phenomenon needs to be addressed.

Researchers have developed a heat storage unit that takes up less space than a regular hot water tank. It charges when electricity is cheap and releases heat when needed.

As we continue our trek towards cost-effective net-zero facilities, our industry is beginning to embrace the concept of shifting from “real-time” HVAC energy plants such as boilers and chillers to ...

A recent article in the Journal of Energy Storage investigated the impact of non-linear porosity distributions in copper foam on the thermal performance and melting behavior of palmitic acid, a phase ...

Researchers from Swansea University in the United Kingdom are investigating how thermochemical storage (TCS) may be used in combination with rooftop PV for seasonal heat storage. “Our vision for the ...
