Over the past three years, a distinguished team of 60 researchers from 14 different countries has collaborated intensively on advancing the characterization and optimization of compact thermal energy storage (CTES) […]Read More
The research group on Compact Thermal Energy Storage Materials of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme has taken a big step forward in developing and validating standardized thermal energy […]Read More
Compact thermal energy storage can be achieved with a large number of materials. To reduce costs, a high energy density of the storage material at optimal temperatures is desirable. The […]Read More
Stability is a key issue when evaluating new phase-change materials (PCMs) or thermochemical materials (TCMs) for thermal energy storage. A loss of stability may reduce the storage capacity and/or the […]Read More
The session Emerging Heat and Cold Storages during the ISEC conference in April in Austria was a deep dive into thermochemical heat storage. Two speakers from the German research project […]Read More
The IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme has redoubled its efforts to develop and test compact thermal energy storage (CTES), saying the technology can play an important role in transforming […]Read More
