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.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, phase change materials (PCM) are used for free-cooling in real-scale heat exchangers, where low air temperature is used to solidify the PCM during the night and then during the next day, the inside air of a building can be cooled down by exchanging heat with PCM.

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental results of a versatile latent heat storage tank capable of working with organic phase-change materials within a temperature range from −10°C to 100°C were presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show equipment developed in different research centers and universities to analyze thermophysical properties, such as specific heat, latent heat and melting temperature, and thermal conductivity and diffusivity of PCM and hybrid PCM materials.
