Usage of phase change materials’ (PCMs) latent heat has been investigated as a promising method for thermal energy storage applications. However, one of the most common disadvantages of using latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) is the low thermal conductivity of PCMs. This issue affects the rate of energy storage (charging/discharging) in PCMs. Many researchers have proposed different methods to cope with this problem in thermal energy storage. In this paper, a tubular heat pipe as a super heat conductor to increase the charging/discharging rate was investigated. The temperature of PCM, liquid fraction observations, and charging and discharging rates are reported. Heat pipe effectiveness was defined and used to quantify the relative performance of heat pipe-assisted PCM storage systems. Both experimental and numerical investigations were performed to determine the efficiency of the system in thermal storage enhancement. The proposed system in the charging/discharging process significantly improved the energy transfer between a water bath and the PCM in the working temperature range of 50 °C to 70 °C.

A lithium-ion capacitor (LiC) is one of the most promising technologies for grid applications, which combines the energy storage mechanism of an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) and a lithium-ion battery (LiB). This article presents an optimal thermal management system (TMS) to extend the end of life (EoL) of LiC technology considering different active and passive cooling methods. The impact of different operating conditions and stress factors such as high temperature on the LiC capacity degradation is investigated. Later, optimal passive TMS employing a heat pipe cooling system (HPCS) is developed to control the LiC cell temperature. Finally, the effect of the proposed TMS on the lifetime extension of the LiC is explained. Moreover, this trend is compared to the active cooling system using liquid-cooled TMS (LCTMS). The results demonstrate that the LiC cell temperature can be controlled by employing a proper TMS during the cycle aging test under 150 A current rate. The cell’s top surface temperature is reduced by 11.7% using the HPCS. Moreover, by controlling the temperature of the cell at around 32.5 and 48.8 °C, the lifetime of the LiC would be extended by 51.7% and 16.5%, respectively, compared to the cycling of the LiC under natural convection (NC). In addition, the capacity degradation for the NC, HPCS, and LCTMS case studies are 90.4%, 92.5%, and 94.2%, respectively.

“…The heat pipe's cooling performance for high current applications was experimentally and numerically analyzed in which the cooling capability of the liquid cooling system and liquid cooling system embedded heat pipe (LCHP) was investigated. Also, the battery module's maximum temperature reduced by 29.9% and 32.6% for the liquid cooling system and LCHP, respectively ( Behi et al., 2020d ). A sandwich heat pipe cooling system (SHCS) configuration for fast discharging was built, and the cooling effect of the heat pipes in three different scenarios was studied.…”

Lithium-ion capacitor (LiC) technology is an energy storage system (ESS) that combines the working mechanism of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC) and lithium-ion batteries (LiB). When LiC is supposed to work under high power applications, the inevitable heat loss threatens the cell's performance and lifetime. Therefore, a proper thermal management system (TMS) can remove the generated heat of the LiC during high cycling conditions. In this paper, a hybrid TMS (HTMS) using phase change materials (PCM) and six flat heat pipes is proposed to maintain the temperature profile below 40 °C under a high current rate of 150 A for 1400 s profile without any pause. Two K-type thermocouples (T1 & T2) are responsible for monitoring the experiments' temperature evolution in the experiments. Numerical analysis is also performed and verified with experimental results to analyze the temperature profile numerically. The experimental and numerical simulation comprises three case studies, including the cell's temperature under natural convection, temperature distribution when using the heat pipe TMS, and temperature distribution when using HTMS. The results reveal that the HTMS is an exceptionally robust cooling system since it reduces the T 1 temperature by 35% compared to the natural convection case study, while the heat pipe TMS can reduce the T 1 temperature by 15% compared to the same case study.
