Integration of Heat Storage Technologies in District Heating Systems

Global trends in the efficiency, safety of energy systems and energy conservation actualize the task of developing new technologies for energy storage and transportation. The article considers current technologies of storage and accumulation of thermal energy, which can be used in central heating systems, and draws conclusions about the feasibility of their use. Also, the classification of energy storage systems is presented. The most perspective thermal energy storage, which can be used to equalize the load on the energy source to ensure the peak demand for heat with a high coefficient of utilization of the equipment capacity, is noted.
