This study explores the potential of sensible thermal energy storage systems to support solar energy integration for industrial heating applications, addressing the intermittency challenge of solar power. Thermal storage options include sensible, latent. . Global energy demand is expected to double by 2050, with approximately 80% of the total energy currently derived from fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and natural gas. This research aims to discover ways to enhance CSP energy storage solutions through TES. . These systems bridge the gap between intermittent energy generation and consistent demand, particularly in countries like Germany where renewables supply over 50% of electricity.
