Solar thermal storage (STS) refers to the accumulation of energy collected by a given solar field for its later use. In the context of this chapter, STS technologies are installed to provide the solar plant with partial or full dispatchability, so that the plant output does not depend strictly in time on the input, i.e., the solar irradiation.
The storage question is of central importance for the future use of solar thermal energy as a potential substitute for fossil primary energy sources. The storage of solar heat in thermal energy storage systems (TESS) depends very much on the application.
