To sum up, TES is proving itself a key tool to face the challenges of energy storage. This allows a decoupling between production and demand and therefore a reduction of the required capacity of the cooling and heating plants, because they can be designed not for the peak cooling demand but for the average demand, reducing the required capacity.
The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
