Flexible and available at any scale, energy storage offers a useful framework and starting point in a larger conversation around energy equity. This thesis presents a systematic literature review (SLR) to comprehensively assess the social impacts associated with different energy storage. . We help people and wildlife adapt to climate change and reduce its impacts, including flooding, drought, sea level rise and coastal erosion. We improve the quality of our water, land and air by tackling pollution. The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power has been a significant step towards reducing our. . Examines the potential environmental and social implications of energy storage technologies.

Thermal energy storage (TES) is the most suitable solution found to improve the concentrating solar power (CSP) plant's dispatchability. Molten salts used as sensible heat storage (SHS) are the most widespread TES medium. Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) plants utilize TES to increase flexibility so they can be used as “peaker” plants that supply electricity. . A crucial component for enhancing power plant dispatchability is thermal energy storage.
