checked with the ones deduced from analytical models. The efficiency of the heat storage for a daily complete charge discharge cycle is estimated to 95%. The thermal storage behavior is then described and analyzed over a complete day of actual operation. Finally the maintenance activity during two years of operation are listed and some remarks arc made on salt corrosion. salt stability and the lessons learned by the construction and operation of this system.
