Abstract: Thermal energy storage (TES) systems can be designed in order to maximize their impact on a specific design target, such as reducing indoor temperature diurnal swings. Identifying the foremost design objective(s) is highly important since different design objectives result in distinct optimal designs. This paper compares several design concepts and associated criteria that can be satisfied with passive TES in various applications with a focus on isolated gain spaces like solaria and greenhouses.
