Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, Japan's energy problems have becoming a social problem that deeply affected people's living and businesses due to damage to nuclear power plants. Securing core energy, such as nuclear power generation and thermal power generation and reconstruction of the living energy for the local area is desirable. For one of the methods to secure living energy, an TES (thermal energy storage) system which using air as HTF (heat transfer fluid) and stone as the storage material have been developed. By constructing a stone heat storage system, it gives a possibility of securing the basic living energy of disaster area residents. In this study, the influencing factors of TES, which affect the thermal stratification, related to the performance of a stone heat storage tank, such as the porosity and mass flow rate, were investigated.
