This paper presents the development, experimental testing, and numerical investigation of water-based phase change material (PCM) thermal energy storage (TES) using the shell-and-tube design with different tube layouts including single serpentine, double serpentine, and spiral. Sodium acetate trihydrate (SAT) with a melting temperature of 58 °C was used as the storage medium. The major contribution of this study is the sensitivity analysis and performance comparison of the shell-and-tube PCM TES units with different tube layouts. A quasi-three-dimensional dynamic model of the PCM TES unit was...

Abstract The increasing penetration of solar energy into buildings can mitigate the great challenges of energy shortage and global warming, while the inherent intermittence of solar energy could endanger power grids. This study investigated the energy flexibility of a net-zero energy (NZE) house using a solar-assisted air conditioning system with integrated thermal energy storage (TES) and demand-side management (DSM) strategies. The main contribution is to investigate and reveal the interactions among the utilisation of solar energy, thermal energy storage, and DSM strategies, to improve bui...

Abstract This paper reviews cascaded or multiple phase change materials (PCMs) approach to provide a fundamental understanding of their thermal behaviors, the performance in terms of heat transfer uniformity, and the influence of input parameters and different geometrical containments on the performance of latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems. Furthermore, the performance enhancement of energy components through the implementation of cascaded techniques and cascaded arrangements of PCMs accompanied by other enhancement approaches is discussed. The influence of stage numbers affe...
