Solar energy, a pivotal renewable resource, faces operational challenges due to its intermittent and unstable power output. Thermal energy storage systems emerge as a promising solution, with phase change materials (PCMs) packed beds attracting attention for their compactness and stable temperature transitions.
Because of the unstable and intermittent nature of solar energy availability, a thermal energy storage system is required to integrate with the collectors to store thermal energy and retrieve it whenever it is required.
Under this paper, different thermal energy storage methods, heat transfer enhancement techniques, storage materials, heat transfer fluids, and geometrical configurations are discussed. A comparative assessment of various thermal energy storage methods is also presented.
