“…Indeed while for oilbased CSP plants a 2-tanks molten salt sensible heat storage system has become a wide-spread standard, for the DSG solar plants various system solutions have been proposed, but all of them are still at the pilot plant level [2,3].…”

Solar power will play a significant role in India's future energy mix. In addition to be able to provide process heat, concentrated solar power (CSP) plays a unique role in India's energy production because of its potential to use hybrid technologies with biomass or fossil fuels. Thermal energy storage is another aspect of solar thermal technology which helps provide dispatchable and base-load power. The low pressure steam available at the outlet of the power turbine can be utilized for other processes such as air-conditioning and thermal desalination. At high temperatures that can be brought about by concentrating solar thermal technology, hydrogen gas can be produced which serves as a clean fuel. Despite many advantages, much more needs to be done to scale-up CSP sustainably. Innovation and indigenization can address some of the barriers that pose challenges for the development of CSP market in India.

“…Several works have been done recently considering different types of PCMs and different heat exchanger geometries ( [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]). The shell and finned tubes [6] and [7] is the only one tested on a prototype scale. A few works [8][9][10] also modelled shell and tubes heat exchanger as a sum of annular PCM storages to simplify the studies on the subject.…”

-Thermal energy storage (TES) using phase change materials (PCMs) are an efficient and reliable technique to reduce consumption of energy. The heat transfer processes during phase change in PCMs is complex because of the simultaneous presence of solid and liquid phases where, solid and liquid fractions are continuously changing with time. The present experimental investigation focuses on the transient behaviour of the melting process and the dynamic of the solid-liquid interface in a cylindrical TES containing bio-based PCM. Coconut oil is used as a bio-based PCM and two different experimental conditions are investigated. The aim of this study is to improve the understanding of the fundamental of solid-liquid phase transition during melting, and a better characterization of the related heat transfer during phase change processes of bio-based PCM. To achieve these goals, an experimental setup is developed for the visualization of charging time, melt fraction location, and thermal field measurements.
