It is true for this phenomenon, mainly because more heat is stored in the building rather than transported away through the available energy from the surface into the atmosphere. On the cloudy days, the values of ΔQ S range from 33.7 W m −2 to 66.73 W m −2, which is obviously less than that in October with the water model of high heat storage.

Heat Storage. Heat storage refers to the ability of CSP power plants to store excess heat for later use, allowing for the generation of electricity on demand despite the fluctuating nature of solar energy resources. This storage capability enables the shifting of energy production to peak demand periods, increasing revenue potential.
Thermal energy storage ( TES) is the storage of thermal energy for later reuse. Employing widely different technologies, it allows surplus thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months. Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region.
A-CAES was first proposed in 1972 [17] g. 2 illustrates the working principle of A-CAES: the compression heat of the compressor is used to heat the high-pressure air at the inlet of the expander instead of combustion chamber, and the input and output useful energy are only involved in electrical energy. ...
