So why use thermal energy storage for flexibility?Thermal energy is the dominant energy end-use
Power-to-Heat/Cold
• Solar Thermal (CSP)• Waste Heat Recovery• Biomass• Heat/Cold from Ambient• Absorption Chillers
Thermal Battery (TES)
Energy End-Use
Advantages of TES• Low cost• Low tech• Potential for seasonal storage and high energy storage densities (thermochemical)• High storage efficiencies• Scalable and modular• Wide operating conditions• Deployed at GWh scale or residential• Can size power and energy independently
Concept preferably requires thermal energy for end-use

• Couple electricity and heat sectors
• Primarily from PV and wind• Utilise low cost TES to add
flexibility• Many existing loads can be
made flexible at low cost

Key roles identified for Thermal Storage
• Typically 2 tank molten salt• Generate electricity• Commercially mature (1.1GWh)• Opportunities for cost reductions
with low cost materials (e.g. rocks)• Cost competitive issue with
PV+battery
• Provide passive cooling in buildings HVAC• Integrate thermal storage into building envelope• Eliminate need for active cooling
26
Thermal Storage Laboratory: Excellent integration opportunity between Energy Materials and Energy Storage
Low technology solutionsShort time to market

Conclusions
1. Thermal energy is the largest end-use of energy in South Africa
2. A range of TES technologies exist which can be incorporated to add grid flexibility at low cost
3. In the near term TES for waste heat recovery presents an interesting opportunity
4. CSIR Energy Centre is looking to develop new materials and heat exchange designs for TES
