Unlocking the Future: How Thermal Energy Storage Powers a Sustainable Grid
As the world accelerates its transition to renewable energy, a critical challenge emerges: the sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't always blow. This intermittency threatens grid stability and is the single greatest barrier to a 100% clean energy future. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the transformative potential of Thermal Energy Storage (TES), a powerful yet often overlooked technology that stores energy as heat for later use.
