Abstract. In many parts of the world, temperature, even during 24 hours, varies over a wide range. It is imperative to use artificial sources of energy for keeping temperature f1ucturations within the range of comfortable living. Fossil fuel, oil or electricity were and still are the main source of auxiliary energy.

The U.S. could need 125-680 GW of long-duration storage capacity —up to 12 hours— by 2050 to support a grid dependent on intermittent renewables, according to research from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. That''s a more than five-fold increase from today''s installed capacity.
