Abstract:Solar energy is a renewable energy source that can generate electricity. When there is much solar radiation, there is not always a need for all the energy from the solar, and when the weather is cloudy there may be too little energy to meet demand. Thus, it is often wise to implement energy storage in systems with a large share of renewable energy. Latent heat storage is one of the most efficient ways of storing thermal energy. Sodium Sulfate Decahydrate (Glauber’s salt) has a larger energy storage density and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
