Thermal energy storage (TES) is a crucial enabling technology for the large-scale deployment of renewable energy, facilitating the decarbonization of thermal end uses, including refrigeration, water heating, and space heating and cooling, and the transition to a decarbonized building stock and energy system by 2050.
In thermal energy storage systems, PCMs are essential for storing energy during high renewable energy generation periods, such as solar and wind. This energy storage capability allows for more efficient supply and demand management, enhancing grid stability and supporting the integration of renewable energy sources .
A notable example is the use of TES in cogeneration plants, where thermal storage allows for maximizing the energy generated and reducing fossil fuel consumption [79, 93].
Furthermore, its ability to retain thermal energy over extended periods is diminished, making it less effective in long-term storage applications. Conversely, a TES with high thermal mass better buffers temperature fluctuations, providing a more stable and consistent energy delivery.
Unlike conventional battery storage systems that store energy in chemical form, smart thermal batteries utilize heat as a storage medium. This innovative approach combines the benefits of battery storage with the efficiency of thermal energy management.
As energy systems evolve toward greater sustainability, there is growing interest in leveraging the thermal storage capacity of buildings to reduce energy consumption and shift demand patterns.

While mentions of large tied-grid energy storage technologies will be made, this chapter focuses on off-grid storage systems in the perspective of rural and island electrification, which means in the context of providing energy services in remote areas. The electrical load of power systems varies significantly with both location and time.
There is thus a huge global potential, in remote areas, for exploiting local renewable energy sources (RES) in place of fossil generation. Energy storage systems become hence essential for off-grid communities to cope with the issue of RES intermittency, allowing them to rely on locally harvested RES.
If nonelectrical energy storage systems—such as water tank for a pumping system or flywheels or hydrogen storage in specific locations and contexts—are sometimes a relevant solution, electrochemical storage technologies are the most common for off-grid installations [35 ].
When it comes to living off the grid, having a reliable and efficient battery storage system is essential. Luckily, there are numerous innovative solutions available, from lithium-ion batteries to flow batteries, allowing you to harness and store energy to power your off-grid lifestyle with ease.
In global energy storage, mobile energy storage plays a vital role by providing a convenient and versatile solution. Providing backup power, which is crucial during outages, 2. With this technology, electrical energy has become portable, enabling various applications from charging smartphones to powering electric vehicles. Unlike traditional stationary batteries, MESS units are designed to be mobile, enabling energy to be stored, transported, and deployed where it's needed most.
