Thermocline storage
Thermocline storage is a single-tank method of thermal energy storage in which hot and cold fluid occupy one insulated vessel, separated by a temperature gradient rather than a barrier.
Thermocline thermal storage
Thermocline thermal storage is a single-tank thermal energy storage design in which hot and cold fluid share one tank, cutting costs in concentrated solar power plants.
Thermophotovoltaic heat-battery cells
Thermophotovoltaic heat-battery cells are photovoltaic devices that convert infrared radiation from a hot storage medium into electricity, discharging thermal batteries that store grid power as heat above 1000 °C.
Zeolite-water adsorption heat storage
Zeolite-water adsorption heat storage is a thermochemical method that stores heat by drying zeolite and releases it when water vapor is readmitted, losing nothing over months.
