1. Introduction. Phase change materials (PCMs) have attracted tremendous attention in the field of thermal energy storage owing to the large energy storage density when going through the isothermal phase transition process, and the functional PCMs have been deeply explored for the applications of solar/electro-thermal
Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency. Developing pure or composite PCMs
The modern CSP plants are generally equipped with TES systems, which makes them more affordable than batteries storage at current capital cost $20–25 per kWh for TES [32], [33], while the cost battery energy storage for utility-scale (50 MW) power plant with a 4 h storage system ranges from $ 203/kWh (in India) [34] to $ 345/kWh (in

Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are able to store energy available in excess, for example, solar energy, and this stored energy can be reused later whenever needed. This stored energy can be in the form of sensible or latent heat. Although storage of sensible heat is quite popular in industrial uses, the storage of latent heat is much more
3.1.1.1. Salt hydrates Salt hydrates with the general formula AB·nH 2 O, are inorganic salts containing water of crystallization. During phase transformation dehydration of the salt occurs, forming either a salt hydrate that contains fewer water molecules: ABn · n H 2 O → AB · m H 2 O + (n-m) H 2 O or the anhydrous form of the salt AB · n H 2 O →
The thermal energy storage (TES) system using phase change materials (PCMs) has been studied since past three decades. PCMs are widely used in heat storage applications due to their high storage density, as well as the wide range of melting and solidifying temperatures.
Phase change materials (PCMs) are preferred in thermal energy storage applications due to their excellent storage and discharge capacity through melting and solidifications. PCMs store energy as a Latent heat-base which can be used back whenever required. The liquefying rate (melting rate) is a significant parameter that decides the
