READ MOREWhat is thermal energy storage? Thermal energy storage means heating or cooling a medium to use the energy when needed later. In its simplest form, this could mean using a water tank for heat storage, where the water is heated at times when there is a lot of energy, and the energy is then stored in the water for use when energy is less plentiful.
READ MORE2.2 LHS. LHS has become a hot topic of research in recent years. In the initial stage of heat storage, the same as the SHS, as the temperature of the heat storage material increases, the heat absorbed gradually increases, but the difference is that when the temperature reaches the phase transition point, the heat storage material continues
