Abstract

The phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage (TES) has the characteristics of high heat storage density and great thermal storage capacity, and can effectively store solar energy resources. To put it simply a thermal energy storage captures heat from a hot fluid, and stores the energy for later use. The primary components in the thermal energy storage consists of the following: Storage medium, heat transfer fluid, and the insulation. The heat transfer fluid captures heat from solar irradiation, and transfers portion of the heat to the storage medium. When the heat transfer fluid goes cold after sunset, the storage medium replaces the sun as a heat source and heats the fluid.
