This paper introduces the development, classification, characteristics and advantage of phase change energy storage materials and emphasizes the application of phase change energy storage in power system, At last, the factors influencing the development and application of phase change energy storage technology are analyzed.
Phase change thermal energy storage technology utilizes phase change materials (PCMs) to store energy by absorbing or releasing a large amount of latent heat during the phase transition process. As shown in Fig. 4, the phase change process typically includes solid-solid phase change, solid-liquid phase change, and gas-liquid phase change.
1. Introduction Phase change energy storage materials (PCESM) refer to compounds capable of efficiently storing and releasing a substantial quantity of thermal energy during the phase transition process.
In phase change thermal energy storage technology, PCMs play a crucial role in determining the performance of the energy storage system. Researching and finding safe, reliable, high energy density, and high-performance PCMs is key to the advancement of phase change thermal energy storage technology. 2.2. Principles for selecting PCMs
Phase change thermal storage systems offer distinct advantages compared to sensible heat storage methods. An area that is now being extensively studied is the improvement of heat transmission in thermal storage systems that involve phase shift .
