Abstract (Original language)
Résumé

Solar thermal energy storage is used in many applications, from building to concentrating solar power plants and industry. The temperature levels encountered range from ambient temperature to more than 1000 °C, and operating times range from a few hours to several months. This paper reviews different types of solar thermal energy storage (sensible heat, latent heat, and thermochemical storage) for low- (40–120 °C) and medium-to-high-temperature (120–1000 °C) applications.

Le stockage thermique de l'énergie solaire touche de très nombreuses applications, qui vont du bâtiment aux centrales solaires à concentration en passant par l'industrie. Les niveaux de température rencontrés vont de la température ambiante à plus d'un millier de degrés, et les durées d'utilisation de quelques heures à plusieurs mois. Cet article passe en revue les différentes familles de stockage d'énergie solaire thermique (stockage sensible, latent et thermochimique), pour des applications à basses (40–120 °C) et moyennes–hautes températures (120–1000 °C).
