Generated thermal energy can be stored in thermal storage tanks, also known as heat storage tanks, in order to decouple heat production from electricity production.

Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter.

In thermodynamics, the thermal effusivity, thermal inertia or thermal responsivity of a material is defined as the square root of the product of the material's thermal conductivity and its volumetric heat capacity.

Convection (or convective heat transfer) is the transfer of heat from one place to another due to the movement of fluid.

A measure of a substances ability to conduct heat.

The transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. Conduction takes place in all phases: solid, liquid, and gas.

Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment and is assessed by subjective evaluation.

Thermal coal is coalthat is burnt as a solid fuel in coal power stations to generate electricity.

The amount of heat given to a material to make a unit change in temperature in that material.

Thermal breeder reactor which use thermal-spectrum (i.e.: moderated) neutrons to breed fissile uranium-233 from thorium (thorium fuel cycle).

A device used to store and release thermal energy.

The therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100000 British thermal units (Btu).

The theory of solar cells explains the process by which light energy in photons is converted into electric current when the photons strike a suitable semiconductor device.

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth.

A CGS unit of equivalent dose, effective dose, and committed dose, which are measures of the health effect of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body.

Abbreviated from the French Système international (d'unités) SI is the modern form of the metric system.

Energy-efficient landscaping is a type of landscaping designed for the purpose of conserving energy.

The energy value of coal, or fuel content, is the amount of potential energy it contains that can be converted into heat.

Movement of current energy supply systems to greener and more sustainable supply systems, usually from polluting or non sustainable sources to renewable and greener sources.

Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another.
