In this context, high-temperature latent heat storage (LHS) using phase change medium (PCM) can be a promising alternative to address the challenges of the variable renewable energy generation with respect to time and space.
Abstract: Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is one of the most promising options among emerging renewable energy technologies. Thermal energy storage can be incorporated into CSP plants to improve dispatchability. Thus, the development of high-temperature Thermal Energy Storage (TES) materials is essential to enhance the performance of CSP plants.
Given the considerable latent heat and continuous water supply, this latent heat can also be harnessed as an effective cooling power source through spontaneous phase transition, to be adopted to dissipate heat and promote vapor condensation (Fig. S14).
Thermal energy storage (TES) can be a potential alternative to address the intermittency of solar energy by storing heat during sunshine duration and releasing during the offsun periods. Hence, TES can not only improve the dispatchability of solar energy but also can increase the reliability and effectiveness of CST systems.
