within the group SIMES dedicated to the research on thermal systems.The group SIMES has developed a research project on latent heat storage of thermal energy in which different materials have been studied in order to analyse their performance as phase change materials for the latent heat storage.The aim of this thesis is the development of two models in MATLAB for the simulation of the performance of latent heat thermal energy storage systems in their processes of charge and discharge, in particular for cold storage. The development of these models allows for a deep understanding of the mechanisms that are governing the performance of this systems.
