Thermoeconomic analysis of sensible heat, thermal energy storage systems

Microencapsulation of 1-hexadecanol as a phase change material with reversible thermochromic properties

“…[1][2][3][4] While the search for new and renewable energy sources has become a primary research area, the development of energy storage devices is now considered as an equally important issue, since it can reduce the imbalance between supply and demand and improve the performance and reliability of energy systems. Over the past decade, thermal energy storage for sensible, latent, and thermochemical heat has attracted great attention.…”

Thermal conductivity and latent heat thermal energy storage characteristics of paraffin/expanded graphite composite as phase change material

“…Energy storage is critical in enhancing the applicability, performance, and reliability of a wide range of energy systems as the discrepancy between energy supply and its demand can be eliminated by use of proper thermal energy storage (TES) methods [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Of various TES methods, latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) which was phase change material (PCM) is one of the most preferred forms because of its high storage density and small temperature variation from storage to retrieval [8][9][10].…”

Thermoeconomic optimization of an ice thermal storage system for gas turbine inlet cooling

“…Badar et al [11] as well as Domanski and Fellah [12] applied a thermoeconomic optimization technique in design of TES systems. They minimized the sum of entropy generation cost and annualized capital cost of system components.…”
