In this article, we’ll explore what thermal energy storage materials are, how they work, and their applications in everyday life. Thermal energy can be stored in several ways, using different categories of materials based on their storage method: sensible heat storage materials, latent heat storage materials, and thermochemical materials.
Sensible heat thermal energy storage materials store heat energy in their specific heat capacity (C p). The thermal energy stored by sensible heat can be expressed as Q = m ⋅ C p ⋅ Δ T, where m is the mass (kg), C p is the specific heat capacity (kJ kg −1 K −1) and Δ T is the raise in temperature during charging process.
Following an introduction to thermal energy and thermal energy storage, the book is organised into four parts comprising the fundamentals, materials, devices, energy storage systems and applications of thermal energy storage.
Various materials were evaluated in the literature for their potential as heat storage mediums in thermal storage systems. The evaluation criteria include their heat storage capacity, thermal conductivity, and cyclic stability for long-term usage.
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems store heat or cold for later use and are classified into sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical heat storage. Sensible heat storage systems raise the temperature of a material to store heat. Latent heat storage systems use PCMs to store heat through melting or solidifying.
The performances of solar thermal energy storage systems A TES system consists of three parts: storage medium, heat exchanger and storage tank. Storage medium can be sensible, latent heat or thermochemical storage material . The purpose of the heat exchanger is to supply or extract heat from the storage medium.
