1. A method of efficiently storing thermal energy using sensible heat storage in solid material comprising:

  • a) providing multiple thin walled pressure vessels containing pressurized working fluids,b) providing solid thermal storage material contained within said pressure vessels,c) providing thermal transfer channels within said solid thermal storage material,d) providing means to couple said thermal storage material to a thermal charging source,e) providing means to couple said thermal storage material to a thermal discharging sink,f) transmitting the concentrated thermal energy from the thermal source, to said solid thermal storage material using a working fluid circuit,g) transmitting the concentrated thermal energy from the solid thermal storage material, to said thermal sink using a second working fluid circuit,whereby concentrated thermal energy can be modularly stored and some used and some stored for later use.
