Improving clean energy greenhouse heating with solar thermal energy storage and phase change materials

Abstract: Greenhouses consume a great deal of energy to heat their building envelopes.The strategic integration of solar energy and thermal energy storage (TES) can help to boost energy performance and reduce the carbon emission in the sector. In this paper, the benefits of adding phase change materials (PCM) to the water tank of a solar heating system have been evaluated using the Transient System Simulation (TRNSYS) program. Initially, the hourly heating load of a reference greenhouse was evaluated using TRNSYS softwa… Show more

“…4 For the phase-change material (PCM) used in the construction field, the latent heat is released through the phase change process of the PCM, thereby improving the indoor temperature comfort and ultimately achieving energy saving effects. 5,6 Because PCM releases high latent heat during phase change, many countries use PCM to store thermal energy. 2 Solar heat collection systems generally include solar heat collectors and energy storage tanks, which are also energy storage heat exchangers, some solar systems may not have energy storage tanks.…”
