• A comprehensive techno-economic analysis of candidate metal hydride materials, used for thermal energy storage applications, is carried out. The selected systems show the potential to exceed the performance of latent heat or phase change heat storage systems and can closely approach the US Department of Energy targets for concentrating solar power plant applications. A paired metal hydride system is selected as possible thermal energy storage to be integrated with high-temperature steam power plants. Its performance is simulated adopting a finite element-based detailed transport phenomena model. Results show the ability of the system to achieve the required operating temperatures and to store and release thermal energy appropriately.
