The integration of renewable energy sources is facilitated by TES because it enables the storage and release of excess clean energy, which improves grid stability. In concentrating solar power plants (CSP), solar molten salt is frequently used since it has some advantages such as good thermal properties.

CSP plants with TES can store excess thermal energy during periods of high solar radiation and release it when sunlight is unavailable, such as during cloudy periods or at night.
This article gives an overview of molten salt storage in CSP and new potential fields for decarbonization such as industrial processes, conventional power plants and electrical energy storage. Concentrating solar power (CSP), also known as solar thermal electricity, is a commercial technology that produ-ces heat by concentrating solar irradiation.
