In an energy storage mode, surplus electricity is converted to heat by the multiple electric heaters inside the molten salt tank. The heat generated is stored in the molten salt by heating the storage medium. The multiple heat transfer tube bundles are installed in the storage tank to ensure the sufficient heat transfer rate.

A packed-bed system consists of an insulated tank, an aggregate storage material (particles/pellets/chunks), and a fluid pathway for heat exchange. In this study, we consider PCM pellets as a means for increasing energy storage density and for removing the risk of thermal ratcheting (e.g. often observed in sensible DMT systems).
Heat exchange effectiveness defines the performance of a heat exchanger. It can be argued that a thermal energy storage device with PCM is a heat exchanger with the thermal performance defined by a fixed heat source/sink at the PCM temperature as expressed by Sari and Kaygusuz [37]. The effectiveness is described as a ratio of the …

On the other hand, in the indirect heat exchange system, the storage tank is charged by the collector loop using an immersed coil heat exchanger at the bottom of the tank and discharged by the load-side loop using an immersed coil heat exchanger at the top of the tank. Such configuration would promote thermal mixing inside the storage tank.
