“…The results indicated that the double pipe heat exchanger with the PCM embedded in a graphite matrix had the highest values. Seeniraj et al [10] investigated transient behavior of high temperature PCMs stored in shell and tube heat exchanger. They observed that if an unfinned tube is used, then some quantity of PCM nearer to the exit of the tube would remain in solid state.…”

“…PCMs also have disadvantages with low thermal conductivity being one of them, which limits the charge and discharge rates and gives a low power density. Several methods have been proposed and investigated to resolve this issue, which can be divided into two categories of thermo-physical property enhancement of PCMs [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and structural improvement of heat exchange devices [10][11][12][13].…”

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.
