“…Environmental impact and limited availability of fossil fuel has mandated their replacement from the conventional thermal power plant to CSP based power generation technologies. CSP has the potential to replace the existing thermal power plant as it is a promising technology especially due to its PCM storage facility and clean life cycle [69,70].…”

“…Keshavarz et al [125] and Li et al [126] investigated multiple PCMs in cascaded configurations in order to either minimize the entropy generation during an entire charging/discharging cycle, or to maximize the exergy extracted during discharging. Mahfuz et al [127] performed energy and exergy analysis for a CSP plant located in Shiraz, Iran. They analyzed the exergy efficiency to show the possible improvement of efficiencies by integrating PCM.…”

h i g h l i g h t sThermal storage for solar thermal power using phase change materials is reviewed. Various phase change materials and manufacturing techniques are surveyed. Mathematical modeling and simulations to latent heat energy storage is reviewed. Integration of a PCM-based TES unit into a power generation system is discussed. Cost analysis of thermocline latent heat thermal storage systems is reviewed. Keywords: Concentrated solar power (CSP) Thermal energy storage (TES) Phase change material (PCM) Latent heat a b s t r a c tThe objective of this paper is to review the recent technologies of thermal energy storage (TES) using phase change materials (PCM) for various applications, particularly concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) generation systems. Five issues of the technology will be discussed based on a survey to the state-of-the-art development and understandings. The first part is about various phase change materials (PCM) in thermal storage applications and recent development of PCM encapsulation technologies. The second is the current status of research and application of latent heat storage systems in CSP plants. The third is the mathematical modeling and numerical simulations to the phenomenon of latent heat thermal storage. The fourth is about the issues of integration of a PCM-based TES unit into a power generation system and the operation. The last part is a discussion about the cost issues and comparison between sensible and latent heat TES systems. The surveyed information will be very helpful to researchers and engineers in energy storage industry and particularly solar thermal power industry.

One of the cooling methods in engineering systems is usage of phase change materials. Phase change materials which have high latent heats, are usually used where high energy absorption in a constant temperature is required. This work presents a numerical analysis of phase change materials effects on cooling lithium-ion batteries and their decrease in temperature levels during intense discharge. In this study, three phase change materials shells with different thermophysical specifications located around a battery pack are examined. The results of each possible arrangement are compared together, and the best arrangement leading to the lowest battery temperature during discharge is identified. In addition, the recovery time for the system which is the time required for the change materials to refreeze is investigated.
