The kinds of thermal energy storage can be divided into three separate categories: sensible heat, latent heat, and thermo-chemical heat storage. Each of these has different advantages and disadvantages that determine their applications. Sensible heat storage (SHS) is the most. . Construction of the salt tanks at the Solana Generating Station, which provide thermal energy storage to allow generation during night or peak demand. This allows the plant to generate about 38 percent of its rated capacity. . Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems capture and store heat or cooling for later use, enabling renewable energy integration, reducing peak demand, and improving efficiency.
