Coupling water storage with solar can successfully and cost effectively reduce the intermittency of solar energy for different applications. However the elaborate exploration of water storage mediums (including in the forms of steam or ice) specifically regarding solar storage has been overlooked.
Consequently, water is a suitable heat storage material, and water is today used as a heat storage material in almost all heat stores for energy systems making use of a heat storage operating in the temperature interval from 0 °C to 100 °C. 2.2. Principles of sensible heat storage systems involving water
Different water storage types for both short-term and long-term heat storage are introduced as well as basic design rules for water stores. Both water stores for solar domestic hot water systems and for solar combi systems for space heating and domestic hot water consumption are considered.
Among the most reliable and cost effective storage mediums, water has been always a favorable option due to its high specific heat, non-toxicity, lower costs, chemical stability, availability and high capacity rate during charge and discharge (Alva et al., 2017, Xu et al., 2014).
By integrating with solar systems pumped-hydro storage converts renewable electrical energy (solar) into mechanical energy and vice versa. The solar energy received by pumped hydro system is used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper one to be release during peak load hours (Canales et al., 2015).
Natural solar water-based thermal storage systems While water tanks comprise a large portion of solar storage systems, the heat storage can also take place in non-artificial structures. Most of these natural storage containers are located underground. 4.1. Aquifer thermal energy storage system
