It is possible to store any type of energy in heat storage systems. For instance, solar energy can be stored in the form of sensible heat in solar domestic hot water systems or solar ponds. In the cold thermal energy storage systems, electricity load can be stored. Also, heat storage can be used in the organic Rankine cycle to store electricity.
The thermal energy storage system helps to minimize the intermittency of solar energy and demand–supply mismatch as well as improve the performance of solar energy systems. Hence, it is indispensable to have a cost-effective, efficient thermal energy storage technology for the prudent utilization of solar energy.

Thermal energy storage is a technique that stores thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the energy can be used later for power generation, heating and cooling systems, and other purposes. In order to balance energy demand and supply on a daily, monthly, and even seasonal basis, Thermal energy storage systems are used.
The energy is brought to the surface and can be used to generate electricity or process heat, making the system adaptable for different industrial applications, and potentially converting solar thermal energy to a base load renewable energy.

The performances of solar thermal energy storage systems. A TES system consists of three parts: storage medium, heat exchanger and storage tank. Storage medium can be sensible, latent heat or thermochemical storage material . The purpose of the heat exchanger is to supply or extract heat from the storage medium.
The second one is the latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems that take advantage of the heat involved during a phase change transition of the material. The main advantage is that these systems can store eight times more than the sensible heat storage systems while keeping the complexity of the system design at hand . The last
