Advanced Course in Thermal Energy Storage Systems

The need for sustainable energy solutions is becoming increasingly important in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions and ensure a reliable energy supply. One of the key technologies in achieving energy sustainability is thermal energy storage (TES). TES systems enable the storage of excess thermal energy produced during periods of low demand or high renewable energy generation, which can then be utilized during periods of high demand or low energy availability. These systems are crucial for integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind, which are intermittent by nature, into the energy grid.

This course, provides a deep dive into thermal energy storage systems, covering the various types of TES technologies, their applications, and the operational and economic factors that influence their use. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how TES works, the different storage mediums used, and how these systems can be integrated into modern energy systems to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and support the transition to renewable energy sources.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
