Phase Change Materials (PCMs)
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are innovative thermal energy storage solutions that can store and release large amounts of energy during phase transitions, such as from solid to liquid or vice versa. PCMs offer high energy density and can be used in various applications, including solar thermal power plants and building heating and cooling systems.
Thermochemical Energy Storage
Thermochemical energy storage systems utilize chemical reactions to store and release thermal energy. These systems offer high energy density and long-term storage capabilities, making them suitable for sustainable power generation from renewable sources such as solar and wind.
High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage
High-temperature thermal energy storage solutions, such as molten salt and ceramic materials, are capable of storing heat at temperatures exceeding 500°C. These systems are well-suited for concentrated solar power plants and other high-temperature industrial processes.
Cryogenic Energy Storage
Cryogenic energy storage involves storing thermal energy in the form of cryogenic liquids, such as liquid air or liquid nitrogen. These systems offer high energy density and can be used for grid-scale energy storage and peak shaving applications.
Advanced Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (AA-CAES)
Advanced Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (AA-CAES) systems use compressed air to store and release energy. These innovative solutions incorporate advanced heat exchange and thermal management technologies to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
