High-temperature TES assists in increasing the dispatchability of present power plants as well as increasing the efficiency in heat industry applications.

However, their performance is limited to operation temperatures below 400 °C due to the thermal degradation processes in its structure. In the present work, the performance and heat storage capacity of geopolymer-based concrete (GEO) have been studied experimentally and a comparison was carried out with OPC-based materials.
