“…In such cases, farm residues (biomass) can be utilized to provide additional energy in farm crop processing thereby increasing the value addition of the farmers' agricultural business. Research and development activities in solar drying are geared towards developing more efficient solar dryers with backup auxiliary biomass heating (Hashemi et al, 2003;Hossain, 2008;Leon and Kumar, 2008;Lokeswaran and Eswaramoorthy 2013;Agrawal and Sarviya 2014).…”

“…54 LHS provides higher heat capacity with a small change in temperature between charging and discharging. 56 The transformations of liquid-gas and solid-gas phase are inappropriate for TES applications because of the complicated large volume alteration through the phase change. 56 The transformations of liquid-gas and solid-gas phase are inappropriate for TES applications because of the complicated large volume alteration through the phase change.…”

“…55 LHS could be divided to solidliquid, solid-gas, solid-solid, and liquid-gas depending on the change of phase during the process. 57,58 The advantage of an LHS method, which makes it exceed an SHS method, is higher heat storage capacity per volume with a smaller change in temperature between the charging and discharging processes. 57,58 The advantage of an LHS method, which makes it exceed an SHS method, is higher heat storage capacity per volume with a smaller change in temperature between the charging and discharging processes.…”

Improving indoor thermal comfort by using phase change materials: A review

et al. 2018

Summary Phase change materials (PCMs) have great potentials to be used in modern building materials to stabilize indoor temperature fluctuations for improving thermal comfort. This paper presents a comprehensive review on the use of PCMs in buildings to improve thermal comfort without increasing energy consumption. Concise discussions of the experimental and computational works reported in literature are presented. A special focus of this review is devoted to discussing different analysis methods and models used to test, characterize, and measure the performance of PCMs in modern building applications under different conditions. This detailed review also highlights the special attention given to organic PCMs, such as paraffin, due to their favorable properties, such as low price, chemical stability, non‐corrosiveness, and high latent heat of fusion. The review shows the scarcity of literature reporting the use of eutectic PCMs in building applications, despite their high volumetric storage density.

“…There are three types of TES technology: sensible thermal energy storage, latent thermal energy storage and thermochemical energy storage. Sensible TES and latent TES are more common [73]. Latent thermal energy refers to energy that is released or stored during the process of phase change.…”

Optimization and Enhancement of DHC networks to reduce (a) fossil fuel consumption, CO 2 emission, and heat losses across the network, while (b) increasing return on investment, forming key challenges faced by decision makers in the fast developing energy landscape. While the academic literature is abundant of research based on field experiments, simulations, optimization strategies and algorithms etc., there is a lack of a comprehensive review that addresses the multi-faceted dimensions of the optimization and enhancement of DHC systems with a view to promote integration of smart grids, energy storage and increased share of renewable energy. The paper focuses on four areas: energy generation, energy distribution, heat substations, and terminal users, identifying state-of-the-art methods and solutions, while paving the way for future research.
