Trends and Emerging Themes in Thermal Energy Storage: A Bibliometric Study
Abstract
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems play a pivotal role in the efficient integration of renewable energy sources into the global energy landscape. This bibliometric analysis delves into the evolving research landscape of TES systems, focusing on nearly 19000 scientific papers from the Scopus database as the primary source to identify key research trends, influential authors, and leading institutions shaping the field between 2000 and 2023. The analysis reveals a substantial surge in TES research over the past two decades due to factors such as advancing technology and increasing incentives. China has emerged as a global leader in this domain, followed closely by the United States and India. Xi'an Jiaotong University, De Lleida University, and Tsinghua University are the most prolific institutions in this field. The Journal of Energy Storage is the most frequently paper-published, followed by Applied Thermal Engineering and Applied Energy. Key research themes identified include the development, design, and optimization of heat storage systems, TES system integration with renewable energy sources, and the exploration of phase change materials for efficient energy storage. The analysis also highlights the contributions of prominent researchers in the field. Cabeza LF, Li Y, and Wang Y are identified as the most prolific authors, having made significant contributions to the advancement of TES technology. The increasing demand for sustainable and efficient energy solutions has spurred significant interest in TES systems. As the world transitions towards a low-carbon future, TES systems offer a promising solution for storing excess renewable energy and ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy supply.
