Thermal energy storage (TES) technology is an effective method to alleviate the incoordination of energy supply and demand in time and space intensity and to improve energy efficiency [8]. TES is usually classified into low temperature (T < 100 °C), medium temperature (100 °C ≤ T ≤ 300 °C) and high temperature (T > 300 °C) TES [9] .
Although using energy storage is never 100% efficient—some energy is always lost in converting energy and retrieving it—storage allows the flexible use of energy at different times from when it was generated. So, storage can increase system efficiency and resilience, and it can improve power quality by matching supply and demand.
