“…This technology appears particularly attractive compared to sensible or thermochemical heat storage since it offers the best compromise between a sufficient Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and a high-energy storage density, facilitating the system's integration in a complex industrial environment. Additionally, it provides an almost constant temperature, avoiding process disturbances or increasing the performances, for example, when the TES is combined with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) [5,6]. Among the different energy storage technologies presented in Figure 2, the thermal one is considered in this study.…”

Thermal energy represents more than half of the energy needs of European industry, but is still misspent in processes as waste heat, mostly between 100 and 200 °C. Waste heat recovery and reuse provide carbon-free heat and reduce production costs. The industrial sector is seeking affordable and rugged solutions that should adapt the heat recovery to heat demand. This study aims to identify suitable latent heat materials to reach that objective: the selected candidates should show good thermal performance that remains stable after aging and, in addition, be at a reasonable price. This paper details the selection process and aging results for two promising phase change materials (PCMs): adipic and sebacic acid. They showed, respectively, melting temperatures around 150 °C and 130 °C, degradation temperatures (mass lost higher than 1%) above 180 °C, and volumetric enthalpy of 95 and 75 kWh·m−3. They are both compatible with the stainless steel 316L while their operating temperature does not exceed 15 °C above the melting temperature, but they do not comply with the industrial recommendation for long-term use in contact with the steel P265GH (corrosion speed > 0.2 mm·year−1).

“…This integration of ORC with separate TES devices is typically found in the application of solar thermal power plants [18,19]. Moreover, a recent review article reported that there is a possible configuration of TES applied directly to the ORC system (as TES-evaporator, TES-condenser, or TES-heat exchanger built into one device) [20]. The possible configurations mentioned above could be the future of ORC.…”

In order to lessen reliance on fossil fuels, a rise in interest in the utilization of fluctuating and intermittent heat sources derived from renewable energy (such as solar thermal, ocean thermal, and geothermal) and waste heat has been observed. These heat sources could be used to generate electricity at relatively low and medium temperatures, for example, through the organic Rankine cycle (ORC). In some case studies, various approaches have been developed to deal with and design ORCs in the desired operating condition utilizing suitable working fluids. This article aims to review some designs and integrated systems of ORC with thermal energy storage (TES) and a two-phase expansion system focusing on the utilization of medium- and low-temperature heat sources in which some subcritical ORCs are presented. Moreover, several possible control systems (both conventional and advanced ones) of ORC with TES and a two-phase expansion system are reported and compared. At the end of this article, the possible future developments of design and control systems are discussed to describe advanced ORC for utilizing low-grade heat sources. This study aims to provide researchers and engineers with an insight into the challenges involved in this process, making industrialization of ORC technology more extensive, in particular when combined with TES and a two-phase expansion system.

Low thermal conductivity and liquid phase leakage impede the widespread adoption of phase change materials (PCMs). To enhance PCM performance and practical viability, addressing these limitations is crucial. Current study addresses low thermal conductivity and leakage issues. Enhanced thermal conductivity in PCMs is achieved by adding graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs), while expanded graphite (EG) acts as a leak‐proof barrier. The composite PCM (ss‐NePCM) composite is developed by ultra‐sonication followed by vacuum impregnation process. The samples underwent comprehensive analysis: thermal conductivity (TEMPOs), chemical composition (FTIR), photo‐transmittance (UV–Vis), and thermal stability (TGA). The results show that the composite with 0.6 wt% GnP (NePCM3) has the highest thermal conductivity enhancement of ≈112% while adding 15 wt% EG (ss‐NePCM3) diminishes leakage problem. According to the optical performance assessment, the composite exhibits a notable increase in absorbance of 116% higher than that of the base PCM. However, due to the introduction of additives, the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) detected a minor variation from 154 to 144.76 J g−1 in the latent heat. Furthermore, the composite demonstrates chemical stability and thermal reliability following 250 heating and cooling cycles. The ss‐NePCM holds promise for thermal systems, where leakage could jeopardize system integrity.
