Type: article
Abstract: Sensible heat storage plays a crucial role in thermal energy systems, enabling efficient energy management and improving system performance. This study evaluates the performance of different configurations of sensible storage using TRNSYS, a widely used simulation tool for transient energy system analysis. Various storage materials, tank geometries, and operational strategies are analyzed to determine their impact on thermal efficiency, heat losses, and energy storage capacity. The simulations explore both single-tank and multi-tank configurations under different charging and discharging conditions. Key performance indicators, including temperature distribution, stratification effectiveness, and overall system efficiency, are assessed to identify optimal storage configurations for diverse applications. The results provide valuable insights into designing and optimizing sensible storage systems for improved energy efficiency and sustainability.
