โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, sensible heat storage (SHS) systems and performance evaluation techniques are studied. A detailed investigation is presented of the availability of SHS techniques for solar thermal applications, selection criteria for SHS systems, the economics of SHS systems, the main issues in evaluating SHS systems, the viability of SHS systems, the environmental impacts of SHS systems and criteria for SHS feasibility studies, as well as energy saving options. In addition to energy and exergy analyses, several definitions of energy and exergy efficiency for the performance of SHS systems are provided with an illustrative example.
