During peak production when the renewable resources are generating the most energy, these systems can store the excess energy. Then during the "off peak" hours of the day, these stored systems can be utilized to keep the supply of energy stable. This integration is beneficial to solve the problems with intermittency that comes with the use of renewable resources. It also supports the stability of the grid. With other countries trying to cut down their carbon emissions while shifting their focus onto renewable resources, the usage of thermal batteries in energy storage is growing significantly.
  • Advancements in Material Science and Efficiency: The new materials for thermal batteries available is what is causing the increased efficiency, energy density, and operational lifespan. Softer materials such as advanced ceramics, composite materials, and some new molten salt formulations are being tested and can improve the storage and releasing of thermal energy. As more and more of these improvements are made, the higher the performance of thermal batteries will be, which means the more competitive they will be with other traditional forms of energy storage like the lithium-ion batteries. In the long-term, this is crucial for high usage of thermal batteries for large scale energy storage systems.
  • Government Aid and Support: Countries across the globe are providing more support for thermal energy storage through grants, tax credits, and subsidies.
