In this paper detailed study of modelling techniques used to analyse thermal energy storage has been conducted. The division of literature has been made as numerical, analytical, and artificial neural network-based. Numerical modelling being very physical based and required more specific software's tools remain costly and computationally very complex at the same time it provides the detailed insights into the system, analytical model provide the exact solutions but need some assumptions which make the system unrealistic in some cases but is easy and flexible in terms of computational requirements, ANN though recently used modelling technique is a black box model which merely needs the data rather than any physical based complex calculations is attracting the scientific community. © 2018 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. date: 2018 publisher: EDP Sciences official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85056787974&doi=10.1051%2fmatecconf%2f201822501015&partnerID=40&md5=09aac90bc244897f14ea38c0e85c13f5 id_number: 10.1051/matecconf/201822501015 full_text_status: none publication: MATEC Web of Conferences volume: 225 refereed: TRUE issn: 2261236X citation: Soomro, A.A. and Mokhtar, A.A. and Akbar, A. and Abbasi, A.
