Research on temperature control technology in energy storage industry

What is the Technology Strategy assessment on thermal energy storage?

This technology strategy assessment on thermal energy storage, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.

What is high-temperature thermal energy storage (httes) heat-to-electricity (CSP)?

High-temperature thermal energy storage (HTTES) heat-to-electricity TES applications are currently associated with CSP deployments for power generation. TES with CSP has been deployed in the Southwestern United States with rich solar resources and has proved its value to the electric grid.

What is thermal energy storage?

Thermal energy storage in buildings can be used to adjust the timing of electricity demand to better match intermittent supply and to satisfy distribution constraints. TES for building heating and cooling applications predominantly utilizes sensible and latent heat technologies at low temperatures (i.e., near room temperature).

Is energy conservation necessary in cold storage facilities in China?

In China, the cold chain industry has a promising market prospect, and there is a requirement to conserve energy in cold storage facilities in the context of the dual‑carbon strategy. This paper highlights various energy conservation methods in cold storage with/without phase change materials.

Can intelligent control systems save energy in cold storage?

It is hoped that advanced controls will be implemented to conserve energy in cold storage. Compared with manual control, it can be more convenient and precise in regulating cold storage, thus enhancing energy efficiency. Consequently, the accurate integration of intelligent control systems into cold storage is a promising area for future research.

What are the determinants of energy conservation in cold storage?

The primary determinants for energy conservation in cold storage are envelope structure and insulating materials, optimization of the refrigeration system, and energy recovery and usage. Eutectic phase change materials are frequently employed in practical applications within cold storage panels.
