Energy storage at all timescales, including the seasonal scale, plays a pivotal role in enabling increased penetration levels of wind and solar photovoltaic energy sources in power systems.
To accommodate the use of this variable energy throughout the year the grid may benefit from economically viable seasonal energy storage to shift energy from one season to another. Storage of this nature is expected to have output durations from 500 to 1000 hours or more.
The concept of seasonal/long-term heat storage presents great opportunities for making the utmost use of solar energy. Stored “excess” heat can compensate for the heat shortage when necessary. Seasonal storage offers the possibility that solar energy can cover all the heating loads without an extra heating system.
As an important technology for solving the time-discrepancy problem of solar energy utilisation, seasonal/long-term storage is a challenging key technology for space heating and can significantly increase the solar fraction. It widens the use of solar collectors and results in better solar coverage of the space heating demand.
The results showed that the pattern of seasonal storage could satisfy 50–70% of the annual heat demand, whereas the diurnal pattern could only meet 10–20%. The investigation indicated that seasonal storage was more capable of conserving energy and reducing fossil fuel consumption for the environment’s sake.
Seasonal thermal storage is an extremely promising technology for saving energy, yet the cost is currently too high to be acceptable for most people, even by using the sensible storage concept. Among all the available technologies, chemical heat storage is regarded as the idea with greatest potential in the long run due to its high energy density.
