Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage Systems
Solar energy is used to drive the chemical reaction of a molecule, usually referred to as a molecular photoswitch, leading to an energy-rich metastable isomer, which stores the energy.
Assessing large energy storage requirements for chemical plants
The combined use of solar and wind energy can significantly reduce storage requirements, and the extent of the reduction depends on local weather conditions. The methodology adopted in
Solar Integration: Solar Energy and Storage Basics
Solar power can be used to create new fuels that can be combusted (burned) or consumed to provide energy, effectively storing the solar energy in the chemical bonds.
