Advances in Thermal Energy Storage Systems: Methods and Applications, Third Edition covers thermal energy storage systems, (TES) including all major advances and developments since the previous edition. It provides readers with comprehensive information related to TES, along with a variety of applications across the energy/power and construction sectors, including the transport industry. After an introduction to TES systems, editor Prof. Dr. Luisa F. Cabeza and her team of expert authors consider the source, design, and operation of the use of water, molten salts, concrete, aquifers, boreholes, and a variety of phase change materials for TES systems before analyzing thermochemical energy storage.
This edition benefits from several new chapters that cover the most advanced technologies, including TES using solid particles or packed bed tanks, cryogenic latent heat storage and solid-solid PCMs, advanced control systems, and sector coupling and flexibility due to the integration of TES. It will benefit researchers and academics of energy systems and thermal energy storage, construction engineering academics, engineers and practitioners in the energy and power industry, architects of plants and storage systems, and R&D managers.
