Abstract

In this chapter, we deal with two important subjects for TES systems and applications, namely system characterization and case studies. In the system characterization, we focus on storage materials and their roles in specific applications while the focus is placed on various selected applications, under case studies, from numerous sectors at various capacities, ranging from micro- to large-scale applications.
