Conclusion. In summary, both thermal energy storage and batteries have their advantages and disadvantages. TES systems are better suited for storing large amounts of energy for longer periods, and are more durable and low-maintenance than batteries. However, batteries are more efficient and cost-effective, and are highly scalable.
