Energy storage system for thermal power generation
A thermal energy battery is a physical structure used for the purpose of storing and releasing . Such a thermal battery (a.k.a. TBat) allows energy available at one time to be temporarily stored and then released at another time. The basic principles involved in a thermal battery occur at the atomic level of matter, with being added to or taken from either a solid mass or a liquid volume which causes the substance's to change. Some thermal batteries also involve causing a substan.
