Sustainable Energy Progress via Integration of Thermal Energy Storage and Other Performance Enhancement Strategies in FPCs: A Synergistic Review

Sudhir Kumar Pathak,
Tagamud Tazmeen,
K. Chopra
et al.

Abstract: Flat plate collectors (FPCs) are the leading solar thermal technology for low-medium range temperature applications. However, their expansion in developing countries is still lacking because of their poor thermal performance. Improving the thermal performance of flat plate collectors (FPCs) is a crucial concern addressed in this review This study comprehensively discussed the performance improvement methods of FPCs, such as design modification, reflectors, working fluid, and energy storage materials, by coveri… Show more

“…Energy storage technologies are used to improve the efficiency of solar systems. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems can store heat or cold to be used later, at different conditions such as temperature, place, or power [88,89]. On the other hand, electrical energy storage (EES) plays three prominent roles-lowering the electricity supply costs by storing energy at off-peak rates, improving reliability at times of unexpected failures or disasters, and maintaining and improving power quality (frequency and voltage) [90].…”

“…Essentially, storage technology serves as a bridge that connects the temporal gap between energy supply and demand. Conventional energy resources like oil or gas have long been stored using technologies like tanks or reservoirs, and now, with technological advancements, thermal and electrical energy storage technologies have reached the commercialization stage [15]. Various energy storage technologies are being utilized domestically and internationally, and active technology development is also ongoing.…”

“…Thermal energy storage technology [7] involves changing the storage medium temperature through heating or cooling, and releasing its internal thermal energy when needed for building heating/cooling and industrial operations. Latent heat storage utilizes phase change materials (PCM) as the heat storage medium [8].…”
