Compression effect of metal foam on melting phase change in a shell-and-tube unit
TL;DR: In this article , the latent heat thermal energy storage tubes packed with compressed metal foams under various compression ratios were designed and analyzed compared with uncompressed tubes, and the observations on the melting process including melting fraction, temperature response distribution and uniformity, velocity field, heat flux and energy storage were further discussed.
Estimating the Value of Utility-Scale Solar Technologies in California Under a 40% Renewable Portfolio Standard (Report Summary) (Presentation)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the technical and economic implications of integrating either PV or CSP-TES under several sensitivities, finding that the ability to displace new conventional thermal generation capacity may be the largest source of value of PV at high solar penetrations.

A review of materials, heat transfer and phase change problem formulation for latent heat thermal energy storage systems (LHTESS)
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase change problem has been formulated using pure conduction approach but the problem has moved to a different level of complexity with added convection in the melt being accounted for, which makes it difficult for comparison to be made to assess the suitability of PCMs to particular applications.
