The goal of current energy policies is to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, which are characterized by their inherent intermittency. To address the challenge of balancing the availability of energy sources with energy demand, seasonal heat storage systems are being developed. Seasonal storage enables the storage and utilization of heat over longer periods, typically spanning several months or an entire season. The purpose of these systems is to ensure efficient energy use for heating and cooling purposes. There are various types of seasonal heat storage systems that are used for different purposes. This thesis focuses on latent, sensible, and thermochemical heat storage systems. The emphasis is placed on the physical description of adsorption. Additionally, we explored the applications of adsorptive heat storage for heating and cooling buildings and other household applications.
