Abstract

Highlights: [•] A novel dynamic model for thermocline thermal energy storage systems is presented. [•] Adaptive grid technique used. [•] Accuracy is improved while using an order of magnitude fewer states and equations. [•] Effects of numerical diffusion are minimized. [•] Model more accurate under temperature (and density) inversion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
