Popis: Due to intermittent nature of solar energy, the thermal energy storage (TES)is vital for the concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies. This paper reports on an experimental investigation of the heat transfer characteristic of a packed-bed using honeycomb ceramic for high temperature thermal storage system. The experimental results showed that the honeycomb ceramic material can be used as the thermal storage material for high temperature packed-bed thermal storage system. After 8 hours of charging, the temperatures of the thermal storage module were 600 °C, 500 °C and 400 °C. And the air outlet temperature is above 483 °C after two hours of discharging when the air flow rate is 150m 3 /h.
