Description
Summary:This book provides a comprehensive exploration of thermal energy storage (TES) technologies, covering fundamental principles, different storage systems, and their applications. It delves into various types of TES, such as pumped hydro, aquifer, borehole, and cavern storage, as well as methods like sensible and latent heat storage systems using phase change materials (PCMs). The authors discuss the importance of TES in energy systems, including solar and geothermal power, and examine the efficiency and thermal properties of materials used in TES. The book is intended for researchers, practitioners, and students in mechanical engineering and energy technology fields, aiming to enhance understanding of TES systems' design, efficiency, and applications.
