Development of a Phase Change Energy Storage Module with High Recovery Rate for Power Generation Applications

Belaed M., Rahman M.M., Wichita State University, US

Using phase change materials (PCMs) as a storage medium has gained great attention because of its low cost and desirable size. But poor thermal conductivity makes the use of PCM challenging as this dramatically increases [...]

Phase Change Materials for Applications in Building Thermal Energy Storage

Habib M.A., Rahman M.M., Wichita State University, US

Phase change materials (PCMs) have excellent thermal energy storage (TES) potential to provide thermal comfort in buildings by lowering the cooling and heating energy demands. The primary grid benefit of thermal energy storage is load [...]

Development and Investigation of New Materials and Technologies for Utilization in Zero Emission Buildings

Jelle B.P., Gao T., Ng S., Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) / SINTEF Building and Infrastructure, NO

The demand for zero emission buildings (ZEB) and energy-producing buildings is increasing along with the growing focus on material resource abundance and scarcity, energy efficiency, renewable and non-polluting energy sources and carriers, and environmental impact. [...]
