Energy consumption in the world has increased significantly over the past 20 years. In 2008, worldwide energy consumption was reported as 142,270 TWh [1], in contrast to 54,282 TWh in 1973; [2] this represents an increase of 262%. The surge in demand could be attributed to the growth of population and industrialization over the years.
Thermal energy storage processes involve the storage of energy in one or more forms of internal, kinetic, potential and chemical; transformation between these energy forms; and transfer of energy. Thermodynamics is a science that deals with storage, transformation and transfer of energy and is therefore fundamental to thermal
It has been shown that temperature stratification 1 (Fig. 1) in a thermal energy storage (TES) of a solar heating system may considerably increase system performance, especially for low flow solar heating systems (e.g., Lavan and Thompson, 1977, Phillips and Dave, 1982, Hollands and Lightstone, 1989, Cristofari et al., 2003).
Among the energy storage options, CAES (compressed air energy storage) is believed to be attractive due to its cost-effective at large temporal scales (from several hours to days) and at a hundreds-of-MW power scale [1], [2], [3].
One of the key goals of this new roadmap is to understand and communicate the value of energy storage to energy system stakeholders. Energy storage technologies are
Understanding energy storage mechanisms in electrochemical energy storage devices lays the foundations for improving their energy and power density.

During the energy release process, the stored high- temperature heat energy and low-temperature cold energy are converted into electricity through the heat pump cycle. In 2010, Desrues et al. [9] established a PTES system based on the Brayton cycle by using argon as the working fluid.
Pumped storage in a hydropower plant, compressed air energy storage and flywheel energy storage are the three major methods of mechanical storage []. However, only for the flywheel the supplied and consumed energies are in mechanical form; the other two important applications, namely pumped hydro energy storage and

Solar energy storage is primarily achieved through three methods: battery storage, thermal storage, and mechanical storage. Battery storage systems, such as lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries, capture energy produced by solar panels for later use. This technology is the most commonly utilized form in residential solar installations.
Advanced Clean Energy Storage may contribute to grid stabilization and reduction of curtailment of renewable energy by using hydrogen to provide long-term storage. The stored hydrogen is expected to be used as fuel for a hybrid 840 MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant that will be built to replace a retiring 1,800 MW coal-fired
1. IntroductionElectric energy storage is currently gaining interests from the governments of the USA, the EU, Japan and Australia, for numerous reasons including the deregulation of the electricity market, the growth of renewable energies [1], and the need for network flexibility in terms of load leveling [2]..
Also, energy analysis and exergy analysis of the two were carried out, and it was found that the PTES system with solid packed bed based on latent heat had higher energy storage density. Wang et al. [21] studied the dynamic performance of the
