Energy storage and heat dissipation control concept

What is sorption thermal energy storage?

Sorption thermal energy storage is a promising technology for effectively utilizing renewable energy, industrial waste heat and off-peak electricity owing to its remarkable advantages of a high energy storage density and achievable long-term energy preservation with negligible heat loss.

What are the charging-discharging cycles in a thermal energy storage system?

The charging-discharging cycles in a thermal energy storage system operate based on the heat gain-release processes of media materials. Recently, these systems have been classified into sensible heat storage (SHS), latent heat storage (LHS) and sorption thermal energy storage (STES); the working principles are presented in Fig. 1.

How does thermal dissipation of a battery work?

During the thermal dissipation process of batteries, the heat generated by the battery is absorbed by the liquid cooling plate, and subsequently carried away by the flowing coolant through convective heat transfer.

Is a storage-priority based control strategy better for HVAC systems?

Zhang et al. compared the performance of different storage capacity-based and priority-based control strategies for an HVAC system combined with a TES. They concluded that while the full storage control technique is superior for the summer, the storage-priority strategy is appropriate for winter.

How do design and control affect energy storage?

In addition to the complexity of the demand/supply sides, other design factors must be addressed in order to enjoy efficient, cost-effective, and clean energy from energy storage . Hence, design and control are intimately linked and must be considered together.

What is thermal energy storage?

Conclusions and perspectives Thermal energy storage is a promising approach for effectively utilizing renewable energy, such as solar energy, industrial waste heat and off-peak electricity.
