Learn more. Molten salts (MSs) thermal energy storage (TES) enables dispatchable solar energy in concentrated solar power (CSP) solar tower plants. CSP plants with TES can store excess thermal energy during periods of high solar radiation and release it when sunlight is unavailable, such as during cloudy periods or at night.

This review first introduces the importance of solar energy and then delves into the development and applications of MS energy storage technology. Traditional MSs (e.g., Solar Salt and Hitec Salt) face issues of thermal stability and corrosion at high temperatures, whereas improved MSs have shown significant enhancements in thermal properties.
Furthermore, systems that store excess solar heat in MS can release it at night or in cloudy conditions, providing continuous power to the grid and significantly improving the efficiency and reliability of solar power generation. Thus, there is a lot of promise for MS energy storage in the production of solar thermal power in the future.
