“…Some of the researchers started their work on eutectic fatty acids and eutectic hydrates (Sari, 2005;He et al, 2013;Cai et al, 2013a;Fauzi et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2013). Now a day, some researchers are also working on metal/its alloys/its eutectics as TES (Wang et al, 2015;Ge et al, 2013;Risueno et al, 2015;Blanco-Rodriguez et al, 2014).…”

“…Jankowski and McCluskey (2014) reviewed the metallic as PCM for vehicle component thermal buffering. Wang et al (2015) studied four binary (Al-Si materials with different Al and Si ratios) and two ternary materials (with Fe or Ni added) to study as a medium to high-temperature PCMs. Their results show that these Al-and Si-based materials are good candidates for thermal ES applications.…”

The Phase Change Material (PCM) stores thermal energy in form of latent heat during phase change process. This is one of the way to store available energy to use later for application during off-sunshine hours. This paper reviewed the recent investigation in the area of PCM as Thermal Energy Storage (TES) and a way forward. This review summarises the previous research works based on the type of PCMs and method of work. A radar map, mind map, comparison charts, etc., are developed for energy storage technologies and different PCMs. The geometry of PCM container of TES is first introduced and followed by the types of PCM used for TES. The most of the recent work such as paraffin, fatty acids, hydrates and metallic as PCM for TES are discussed. In the subsequent part of the paper, the recent developments of eutectic mixture of PCMs and metallic PCMs for TES are also reviewed as way forward reducing the Global Warming Potential building a holistic picture.

“…Recent studies have been directed towards a solution using ultra-high temperature thermal energy storage (UHT-TES) systems, with the utilization of metallic PCMs. These PCMs have the advantage of presenting a high melting point (>1000 o C), high thermal conductivity and latent heat of fusion which can potentially lead to greater energy densities than the ones achieved in low temperature systems [25,26]. It is a newly developed concept under on-going research which has been studied in previous work through experimental and theoretical studies including both steady-state and dynamic numerical simulations [26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Several heat storage systems for domestic application can be used to promote Renewable Energy Sources (RES) penetration by storing excess energy, which would otherwise be rejected during curtailments. The present study investigates two types of PV powered latent heat storage technologies for delivering heat and/or electricity at residential buildings and compares them against a reference case which uses a conventional heat pump as a heating system, also powered by a PV. One technology involves a low temperature PCM thermal energy storage system (LT-TES) heated by either an electric resistance or a heat pump and the other technology involves an ultra-high temperature TES (UHT-TES). It is revealed that any case with heat storage is preferable for better exploiting the produced renewable energy than the conventional one which does not include heat storage. The most favorable from this aspect are the cases which include the UHT-TES, which provide both heat and electricity. Focusing exclusively on heat supply, the most preferable case from a technical performance aspect is the one which includes a heat pump and a LT-TES system, albeit not providing any electricity. On the other hand, the most advantageous only in terms of electricity supply is the case which includes the UHT-TES system.

“…Other challenges lay on how a commercial LHTES-system might be configured for different operating scenarios and which is the optimum vessel design that enables quick charge/ discharge rates. Finally, not all of the metallic materials are recommended for PCMs, because of some drawbacks of their thermo-chemical properties, such as high vapour pressure, chemical instability, and high flammability [23]. This implies that such PCMs should be thoroughly explored, before being utilized in ultra-high temperature LHTES systems.…”
