ABSTRACT:
The Department of Energy (DOE), which incorporates the former Energy Research and Development Administration through the Chemical and Thermal Storage Branch of its Division of Energy Storage Systems (STOR), is engaged in developing and disseminating thermal and thermochemical energy
1. Low-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage (LTTES) - by sensible and latent heat storage modes at temperatures up to ~250°C.
2. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage (HTTES) - by sensible and latent heat storage modes at temperatures above ~250°C.
3. Thermochemical Energy Storage and Transport (TEST) - using reversible chemical reactions at all temperature levels.
DOE-STOR is assisted in the management of these three subprograms by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, NASA-Lewis Research Center, and Sandia Laboratories-Livermore, respectively.
Because of the dispersed management and the size of the effort, it was felt that an annual gathering to review the individual studies and provide perspective was in order. It was agreed that attendance at these meetings would be limited to program participants (subcontractors), government sponsors and users, and representatives of some coordinate activities in order to maximize the impact on the planning and implementation functions of the national Thermal Energy Storage Program. At the same time, it was also agreed that the information presented at these meetings should be more widely disseminated through publication of the proceedings.

storage technology as a means for achieving use of such energy source alternatives as solar, waste heat, and off-peak electricity. The overall national program has been subdivided into three logical subprograms:1. Low-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage (LTTES) - by sensible and latent heat storage modes at temperatures up to ~250°C.
2. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage (HTTES) - by sensible and latent heat storage modes at temperatures above ~250°C.
3. Thermochemical Energy Storage and Transport (TEST) - using reversible chemical reactions at all temperature levels.
