Review on concentrating solar power plants and new developments in high temperature thermal energy storage technologies
Ming Liu,N.H. Steven Tay,Stuart Bell,Martin Belusko,Rhys Jacob,Geoffrey Will,Wasim Saman,Frank Bruno +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive summary of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants both in operation and under construction, covering the available technologies for the receiver, thermal storage, power block and heat transfer fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review on storage materials and thermal performance enhancement techniques for high temperature phase change thermal storage systems
Ming Liu,Wasim Saman,Frank Bruno +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed concentrated solar thermal power plants that are currently operating and under construction and provided the necessary information for further research in the development of cost-effective high temperature phase change thermal storage systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of the effect of inclination angle on convection-driven melting of phase change material in a rectangular enclosure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dynamic thermal behavior of phase change material (PCM) melting in a rectangular enclosure at various inclination angles and found that the inclination has a significant effect on the formation of natural convection currents and consequently on the heat transfer rate and melting time of the PCM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review on shell materials used in the encapsulation of phase change materials for high temperature thermal energy storage
Rhys Jacob,Frank Bruno +1 more
TL;DR: A detailed review of shell materials that have the potential to be used for high temperature thermal energy storage (TES) applications, particularly in conjunction with concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal performance of PCM thermal storage unit for a roof integrated solar heating system
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal performance of a phase change thermal storage unit is analyzed and discussed, based on both experimental results and a theoretical two dimensional mathematical model of the phase change material (PCM) employed to analyse the transient thermal behaviour of the storage unit during the charge and discharge periods.
