Introduction

What is cold thermal energy storage?

Cold thermal energy storage has been used to recover the waste cold energy from Liquified natural gas during the re-gasification process and hydrogen fuel from the discharging process to power fuel-cell vehicles.

Can cold thermal energy storage improve the performance of refrigeration systems?

However, some waste cold energy sources have not been fully used. These challenges triggered an interest in developing the concept of cold thermal energy storage, which can be used to recover the waste cold energy, enhance the performance of refrigeration systems, and improve renewable energy integration.

What is cold thermal energy storage (CTEs)?

Therefore, the increasing demand for refrigeration energy consumption globally, the availability of waste cold sources, and the need for using thermal energy storage for grid integration of renewable energy sources triggered the research to develop cold thermal energy storage (CTES) systems, materials, and smart distribution of cold.
