Thermal energy storage (TES) systems store heat or cold for later use and are classified into sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical heat storage. Sensible heat storage systems raise the temperature of a material to store heat. Latent heat storage systems use PCMs to store heat through melting or solidifying.

To measure how much energy is used when a 100-watt light bulb is on for 5 hours, the solution is 100 watts x 5 hours = 500 watt-hours. A Kilowatt-Hour (kWh) is equal to 1,000 Wh. If the same light is left on for 10 hours, the energy consumed is equal to 100-watt x 10 hours = 1,000 watt-hours, or 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh).
