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.
Systems-level PCM thermal storage with dynamic control and integration with complex heat rejection systems remains a promising opportunity for multidisciplinary research.
Among the numerous methods of thermal energy storage (TES), latent heat TES technology based on phase change materials has gained renewed attention in recent years owing to its high thermal storage capacity, operational simplicity, and transformative industrial potential.
Although device designs are application dependent, general design principles for improved thermal storage do exist. First, the charging or discharging rate for thermal energy storage or release should be maximized to enhance efficiency and avoid superheat.
Thermal storage behavior of the PCM is compared with pure Cu for (D) heat source temperature (Tsource), (E) stored heat flux (q″stored), and (F) stored energy (E). The temperatures and zones at which melting or solidification occur are key parameters for PCMs. Superheating rarely occurs in PCMs.
The energy storage systems are categorized into the following categories: solar-thermal storage; electro-thermal storage; waste heat storage; and thermal regulation. The fundamental technology underpinning these systems and materials as well as system design towards efficient latent heat utilization are briefly described.
