“…As illustrated in figure 3, the recommended receiver has a conical chamber on the front surface and heat transfer fluid tubes submerged in PCM. In this study, the size of the receiver cavity, incident solar radiation, hot wall thickness, tube diameter and number of tubes, pressure drop inside the tubes, and input mass flow rate all play a role [22].…”

Heat-storage materials that can be used to transition from one phase to another are known as phase change materials (PCM). This review article aims to highlight the history, iterations, and future value-adding of PCM in the sciences and engineering industries. This study discusses the many types of phase transition materials, as well as their encapsulations and applications. The study also includes findings from many experiments conducted around the world in order to offer a complete picture of overall advancement in the field of PCM.

“…They tested the system's thermal behaviour for different temperature ranges. Bashir and Giovannelli [5] evaluated Mg2Si, MgSi and AlSb, which have very high melting temperature values, as thermal energy storage mediums integrated with a solar receiver. They reported the optimum design point of the receiver.…”

Increasing renewables in energy mix results in lower emissions but also increased fluctuations in the electricity grid. Current thermal energy conversion-based systems will stay as main electricity generation in the grid, and they will support base loads of the system. Whether these systems are fossil or geothermal sourced they need adaptive technologies to harmonize with the changing network. This study aims to investigate feasibility and performance to satisfy response demands for a proposed thermal energy storage system connected to feed stream of thermal power generation to support ancillary services in a case study in Turkey. Tin is selected as the phase change material for its good inductive properties. It is demonstrated numerically that the evaluated heat storage tank, filled with tin, provides adequate time for thermal discharging within time limits to benefit from hourly ancillary power market. Using hourly pricing data for entire 2020, it is found that proposed system shows better economic performance than investment requirement of ROI over 11% as stated in various literature for renewable energy systems. Analysis of system economic performance shows a ROI of 16% and NPV is 17.8% higher than required investment.

“…Xiao et al [20] determined that the effective mass flow rate for a cylindrical cavity receiver in a PDC is 0.02 kg/s. PCM integrated solar receivers have been investigated recently by several researchers to maintain uniform heat distribution inside the receiver [21][22][23]. The use of triangular-shaped bodies in SAH was found to be active in enhancing the collector efficiency [24].…”

This work aims to compare the cavity surface contour’s thermal performance to that of the solar absorber’s plain surface contour for Scheffler type parabolic dish collectors. The absorber is tested for the temperature range up to 600°C without working fluid and 180°C with the working fluid. The modified absorber surface's thermal performance is compared with the flat surface absorber with and without heat transfer fluid. The peak temperature reached by the surface modified absorber (534°C) is about 8.6% more than that of the unmodified absorber (492°C) during an outdoor test without fluid. The energy efficiency of cavity surface absorber and plain surface absorber are 67.65% and 61.84%, respectively. The contoured cavity surface produces a more uniform temperature distribution and a higher heat absorption rate than the plain surface. The results are beneficial to the design of high-temperature solar absorbers for concentrated solar collectors.
