This work aims at reviewing current available thermal energy storage technologies, when combined with district heating and cooling systems. Various papers in the literature review thermal energy storages [16], [22]. This work focus the attention on the use of various types of TES with DHC systems, fed by different plants and sources.
Water heating accounts for about 18% of your home''s energy use and is the typically the second largest energy expense in any home. You can reduce your water heating bills in four primary ways: Using less hot water. Using energy-saving strategies, such as turning down the thermostat on your water heater. Insulating your water heater and pipes.

There are three different principles of heat storage: sensible heat storage has a volumetric heat capacity of 10–50 kWh/tonne, latent heat storage (50–150 kWh/tonne), and thermo-chemical storage (120–250 kWh/tonne) [6]. Sensible heat storage uses a non-corrosive and cheap medium like water to store thermal energy and the
