Electric phase change energy storage boiler

Is a control method based on a boiler-phase change thermal energy storage heating system?

This study proposed a control method combing load prediction and operation optimization based on an electric boiler-phase change thermal energy storage heating system. A deep learning-based heating load prediction model was built; on this basis, an operation optimization method using dynamic programming was formulated subsequently.

What is the operation strategy for phase change thermal energy storage?

A favorable operation strategy is essential to exploit the advantage of the phase change thermal energy storage system. Previous studies on the operation strategy lack consideration of load prediction, which could reduce the matching degree of heat supply and demand.

Can phase change thermal energy storage reduce energy costs?

Thermal energy storage with phase change materials is an efficient approach to reduce energy costs under time-of-use electricity pricing. Operation strategy is essential to exploit the advantage of a phase change thermal energy storage system.

What is phase change energy storage?

Phase change energy storage combined cooling, heating and power system constructed. Optimized in two respects: system structure and operation strategy. The system design is optimized based on GA + BP neural network algorithm. Full-load operation strategy has good economic, energy and environmental benefits.

Can phase change materials be used for latent thermal energy storage?

The utilization of phase change materials (PCM) for latent thermal energy storage represents a beneficial approach to thermal energy storage (TES) (Shoeibi et al., 2022). In a phase change thermal energy storage (PCTES) system, electric boilers and heat pumps are commonly used as heat sources (Li et al., 2020).

Can phase change energy storage improve energy performance of residential buildings?

This study presents a phase change energy storage CCHP system developed to improve the economic, environmental and energy performance of residential buildings in five climate zones in China. A full-load operation strategy is implemented considering that the existing operation strategy is susceptible to the mismatch of thermoelectric loads.
