Given the sensible energy densities of the molten salt and filler material, the thermocline tank requires a diameter of 36.5 m to satisfy the required storage capacity. The PCM capsules are sized to an effective diameter of 1 cm and assumed to form a 0.22 porosity bed, similar to previous reports for quartzite rock [1] .
The thermocline region acts as a barrier between the hot and the cold fluids, and it allows for the effective harnessing of thermal energy with good thermodynamic quality from the upper section of
