When TES technology is applied to store thermal energy at sub-ambient temperatures, it is often called cold TES (CTES). The two methods of achieving CTES are sensible heat storage and latent heat storage. In the former method, CTES is achieved due to the change of temperature of a storage medium, such as water.
