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.
Solar thermal energy is usually stored in the form of heated water, also termed as sensible heat. The efficiency of solar thermal energy mainly depends upon the efficiency of storage technology due to the: (1) unpredictable characteristics and (2) time dependent properties, of the exposure of solar radiations.
