STORAGE OF LATENT HEAT AND THERMAL ENERGY FOR INDOOR COMFORT CONTROL: AN INVESTIGATION INTO TECHNO-ECONOMIC VIABILITY.

Abstract

The last four seconds of the previous day saw the debut of Homo sapiens, which many people think is one of the most important moments in history. People think this incident is one of the most important in history. During the Industrial Revolution, which happened more than 200 years ago, fossil fuels were found for the first time. A lot of these fuels were taken from the ground during this time. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that the world's temperature will rise by two to six degrees Celsius by the year 2100 because people are using too much fossil fuels. This is a direct consequence of human activities that are altering the climate. This is driving the demand for therapies with lower energy consumption. With the goal of lowering GHG emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy sources, and improving system energy efficiency without compromising quality of life, this research investigates load shifting and peak shaving uses of energy storage technology. These goals are reached without lowering the quality of life. High-level thermal energy storage (TES) systems use latent heat (LH) as the main way to store thermal energy. Phase transition materials give these technologies their power. The goal of the research is to create accurate numerical models of the LHTES element to solve the challenges that have been found. These versions are made up of both shaped-stabilized and free-flowing PCM mechanisms. Researchers have reported positive outcomes from an investigation into the practicability of using multistage multi-PCM to enhance thermal power efficiency, which validated these models via tests. Temporary TES combined systems were also the subject of the study, with the goal of reducing the excess energy derived from fossil fuels alongside alternative resources for a cleaner environment. This is why renewable energy was created.
