Aiming at decarbonising the energy systems of geographical islands, MAESHA will deploy the necessary flexibility, storage and energy management solutions for a large penetration of
Each method of energy storage holds some basic advantage over others and is also associated with some drawbacks. Storing energy as sensible heat or latent heat is simple and relatively cheaper []; however, it cannot be stored for longer periods in these forms [] has to be used within certain period of time after storage since it is lost to the ambient once the
French renewable power producer and developer Akuo has officially opened a 1.2-MW solar park equipped with an integrated energy storage facility on the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean.
Thermal energy storage in the form of sensible heat is based on the specifi c heat of a storage medium, which is usually kept in storage tanks with high thermal insulation. The most popular and commercial heat storage medium is water, which has a number of residential and industrial applications. Under-
The EU-funded MAESHA project will develop smart and flexible methods of storage and energy management as well as modelling tools and technical systems with the aim of promoting the transition towards sustainable energy.
A comprehensive review of different thermal energy storage materials for concentrated solar power has been conducted. Fifteen candidates were selected due to their nature, thermophysical
Sun is supplying ample amount of solar energy throughout the day. But due to the intermittent nature of this solar energy, one storage is required. Sensible energy storage (SES) stores the heat energy during shining hours and supply that heat in the absence of solar
The charging time and energy storage capacity of the sensible thermal storage system was found to be lesser than the latent thermal storage system for all the flow rates. Based on the study, it is recommended that the latent thermal storage system is preferable for higher energy storage capacity, while for better charging and medium storage
French renewable power producer and developer Akuo has officially opened a 1.2-MW solar park equipped with an integrated energy storage facility on the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean. The Hamaha photovoltaic (PV) plant will support the archipelago''s goals of adding 60 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2028 to the 25 MW already
One of the main applications of sensible thermal energy storage at high temperature is in solar power plants (also known as concentrate solar plants—CSP) [8, 9] mercial sensible TES is carried out with molten salts, also known as solar salt (60wt% NaNO 3 and 60wt% KNO 3).Solar salt is relatively cheap and has a good maximum operating
The project delves into cutting-edge technologies encompassing renewable energy sources (RES), integrating EV charging points, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems, and advanced energy storage and
MAESHA will deploy the necessary flexibility, storage and energy management solutions for a large penetration of Renewable Energies (RE). Cutting-edge technical systems will be
Sensible heat storage (SHS) is a method of thermal energy storage that involves storing energy by increasing or decreasing the temperature of a storage medium, such as water, molten salts, or solid materials like rocks and concrete. This technology is widely used due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reliability.
Sensible, latent, and thermochemical energy storages for different temperatures ranges are investigated with a current special focus on sensible and latent thermal energy storages. Thermochemical heat storage is

Aiming at decarbonising the energy systems of geographical islands, MAESHA will deploy the necessary flexibility, storage and energy management solutions for a large penetration of Renewable Energies.
For these higher temperatures, chloride salts are more ideal candidate storage media, either for sensible heat storage in the molten salt (e.g, a dual-tank storage arrangement) or for sensible and latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) as phase change materials (PCMs).
The project delves into cutting-edge technologies encompassing renewable energy sources (RES), integrating EV charging points, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems, and advanced energy storage and management systems.
Reducing significantly fossil fuel consumption, by developing renewable energy – based systems (including heating and cooling and storage) that allow the island to go towards full decarbonisation goals in a shorter time frame, using: (1) Energy systems modelling, (2) user-based approach and (3) technical deployment.

Even though each thermal energy source has its specific context, TES is a critical function that enables energy conservation across all main thermal energy sources [5] Europe, it has been predicted that over 1.4 × 10 15 Wh/year can be stored, and 4 × 10 11 kg of CO 2 releases are prevented in buildings and manufacturing areas by extensive usage of heat and
The EU-funded MAESHA project will develop smart and flexible methods of storage and energy management as well as modelling tools and technical systems with the aim of promoting the
The paper also reviews the thermal characteristics of potential Sensible Heat Storage (SHS) materials as energy storage media in these plants and provides a critical assessment of each material. This paper presents crucial data needed for optimized selection of materials used for energy storage systems employing sensible heat.
In addition, with 4.0 m/s-360 K or 2.0 m/s-400 K, after the energy charging of 8 h, the energy requirement of 5.3 kW can be provided by the energy discharging of 16 h and the energy charging of 8
Mayotte is no doubt the French overseas territory facing the most challenging energy transition. It has the highest cost of electric power generation, at nearly €350/MWh in 2021, and the most carbon-intensive production, with fossil fuels accounting for over 95%. And consumption is rising sharply each year.
The project MAESHA is designed to decarbonize the energy systems of six islands in different geographical areas which are currently strained by their dependency on imported fossil fuels from aging power plants, negatively impacting network resilience.
