“…The phase transition heat of salt alloys and low melt metals is much higher than that needed to hear water up to 95 • C. Table 2 summarizes the main parameters of the metals used for phase transition accumulators (PTA). Works are also underway to develop new materials for phase transition energy storage systems [36][37][38]. Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems represent a promising developmental direction.…”

The daily non-uniform power demand is a serious problem in power industry. In addition, recent decades show a trend for the transition to renewable power sources, but their power output depends upon weather and daily conditions. These factors determine the urgency of energy accumulation technology research and development. The presence of a wide variety of energy storage mechanisms leads to the need for their classification and comparison as well as a consideration of possible options for their application in modern power units. This paper presents a comparative analysis of energy storage methods for energy systems and complexes. Recommendations are made on the choice of storage technologies for the modern energy industry. The change in the cost of supplied energy at power plants by integrating various energy storage systems is estimated and the technologies for their implementation are considered. It is revealed that in the large-scale power production industry, the most productive accumulation methods for energy systems and complexes are the following: pumped hydroelectric energy storage systems, thermal and thermochemical accumulations, and hydrogen systems. These methods have the best technical and economic characteristics. The resulting recommendations allow for the assessment of the economic and energy effect achieved by integration of storage systems at the stage of designing new power units.

“…22,23 Because of high latent heat, appropriate phase transition temperature, and excellent chemical stability, solidliquid PCMs have been extensively utilized for numerous applications through high latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES). 24,25 However, the leakage problem during the solid to liquid phase change restricts the widespread utilization of pure PCMs since it is difficult to prevent the initial solid state from leaking during the melting process. 26,27 It requires some kind of supporting materials to prevent leakage.…”

The effects of embedding fixed and movable metal foams in composite PCMs on the transient performance were studied with pulsed heat loads experimentally under various powers and different cell sizes. Similar conclusions could be drawn both from the experimental and numerical results. It was shown that when fixed metal foams were solely adopted, the heat storage system performance could be enhanced by ∼24.6% by increasing the number of metal foams by three times at the heat flux of 56.1 W/cm2 and 15 ppi. When the movable technique was utilized, the heat transfer enhancement reached up to 36.9% under the same amount of metal foams for the same cell sizes and heat flux. The better performances were attributed to combined positive influences due to the adoption of the movable metal foam technique, which extends heat transfer area, improves heat conduction, and eases suppression of natural heat convection by cutting the amount of metal foams. Moreover, as cutting the amount of metal foams could obviously reduce the wastage of energy storage capacity, the movable metal foam technique demonstrated quite a promising future.
