Journal ArticleDOI
State of the art on high temperature thermal energy storage for power generation. Part 1—Concepts, materials and modellization
Antoni Gil,Marc Medrano,Ingrid Martorell,Ana Lázaro,Pablo Dolado,Belén Zalba,Luisa F. Cabeza +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the different storage concepts are reviewed and classified, and modellization of such systems is reviewed, and all materials considered in literature or plants are listed. But only a few plants in the world have tested high temperature thermal energy storage systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review on phase change material emulsions and microencapsulated phase change material slurries: Materials, heat transfer studies and applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a compilation of information on two latent thermal fluids: PCM emulsions and microencapsulated phase change materials (mPCM slurries) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
An approach to the simulation of PCMs in building applications using TRNSYS
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple methodology for the energetic simulation of buildings including elements with phase change materials (PCMs) using the program TRNSYS is presented and validated, which does not aim a simulation of the real transfer processes inside the materials with PCM, but to evaluate the influence of walls/ceiling/floor with PCMs in the whole energy balance of a building.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercomparative tests on phase change materials characterisation with differential scanning calorimeter
Ana Lázaro,Conchita Peñalosa,Aran Solé,Gonzalo Diarce,Thomas Haussmann,Magali Fois,Belén Zalba,Stefan Gshwander,Luisa F. Cabeza +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of Round Robin Tests (RRTs) was proposed to determine phase change enthalpy, thermal conductivity in solid and liquid phases, viscosity and density in function of temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of melting and solidification in a real scale PCM-air heat exchanger: Numerical model and experimental validation
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a thermal energy storage (TES) unit in a real-scale PCM-air heat exchanger is modeled using one-dimensional conduction analysis, utilizing finite differences method, and implicit formulation.
