Salt hydrate phase change materials used for thermal storage in space heating and cooling applications have low material costs, but high packaging costs. A more economic installed storage may be possible with medium priced, high latent heat. Latent heat storage is one of the most efficient ways of storing thermal energy. Unlike the sensible heat storage method, the latent heat storage method provides much higher storage density, with a smaller temperature difference between storing and releasing heat. This paper work on latent heat storage and provides an insight to recent efforts to develop new classes of phase change materials (PCMs) for
use in energy storage. There are large numbers of phase change materials that melt and solidify at a wide range of temperatures, making them attractive in a number of applications. Hydrated salts have larger energy storage density and higher thermal conductivity but experience super cooling and phase segregation, and hence, their application requires the use of some nucleating and thickening agents. Sodium carb-onate, sodium phosphate and sodium sulfate tested as phase change material by crystallization in this work.

Nowadays for solar heating applications, usage of phase change materials (PCM) to store the heat in the form of latent heat is increased, because large quantity of thermal energy is stored in small volume. The present experimental investigation on the thermal energy storage (TES) system is developed using paraffin and stearic acid as PCM. In the present system solar energy is used as heat source to store the thermal energy in the form of sensible heat and latent heat. In the TES system paraffin and stearic acid are stored in the form of spherical capsules of 38 mm diameter. Investigation results related to the charging time and recovery of stored energy are presented. The experimental investigation showed that the charging and recovery of storage energy are less affected by the PCM materials (paraffin and stearic acid). But, utilisation of stearic acid as PCM is more economical without affecting the quantity of thermal energy stored, charging time and recovery of the stored thermal energy.

Phase Change Materials (PCM) plays an important role in energy conservation, which is very attractive because of its high storage density with small temperature change. In this paper an attempt made to review number of paper based on Phase Change Materials (PCM) in various field of thermal energy storage systems and its applications. The Phase Change Material is the latent heat storage material. As the source temperature raises the chemical bonds within the PCM breaks and the material changes its phase from one phase to another phase. The material begins to melt when the phase change temperature is reached. The temperature then stays constant until the melting process is finished. Thermal Energy Storage deals with the storing of energy by cooling, heating, melting, solidifying or vaporizing a material, the energy becoming available as heat when the process is reversed. Hence it is important to study about phase change materials in thermal energy storage system.Keywords: Phase change materials, Thermal energy storage system, Encapsulation, solar system, Heating and cooling of building

Using phase change material (PCM) as an energy storage medium is one of the most efficient ways of storing thermal energy. The latent heat storage provides much higher storage density than sensible heat storage, with a smaller temperature difference between storing and releasing heat. In addition, phase change materials provide constant and moderate temperature which is needed for drying most agriculture crops sufficiently. This paper reviews the previous work on solar drying systems which implemented the phase change material as an energy storage medium. It is concluded that the solar dryer with a PCM reduces the heat losses and improves the efficiency of the system

열에너지 저장은 고온 또는 저온의 열에너지를 임시 저장하는 것으로서 에너지 수요와 공급 사이의 불균형을 줄일 수 있고, 이를 통해 에너지를 절약하고 에너지 이용효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 특히 간헐적으로 에너지를 생산하는 신재생에너지의 경우 에너지 저장 장치와의 조합은 필수적이다. 또한 지하 암반의 낮은 열전도도와 높은 열용량을 이용하여 지하에 열에너지를 저장하는 경우 열손실을 최소화하여 추가적인 효율 향상이 기대된다. 본 고에서는 지하 열에너지 저장 기술을 조사 분석하고 스웨덴에 암반공동내 열에너지 저장 사례를 소개하였다. Thermal energy storage is defined as the temporary storage of thermal energy at high or low temperatures for later use in need. The energy storage can reduce the time or rate mismatch between energy supply and demand, and thus it plays an important role in conserving energy and improving the efficiency of energy utilization, especially for renewable energy sources which provide energy intermittently. Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) can have additional advantages in energy efficiency thanks to low thermal conductivity and high heat capacity of surrounding rock mass. In this paper, we introduced the technologies of underground thermal energy storage and rock caverns for hot water storage in Sweden.

Both architectural and thermal problems of sensible heat storage
in existing passive solar system can be solved by Phase Change
Material Storage (PCMS) which uses magnanimous heat of fusion
for its storage. This study deal with not only the architectural
application of PCMS, but the PCM-wall using PCM. After figuring
out of the heat storage and melting fraction of a day during the
heating period by giving changes to PCM and thickness of PCM-wall,
they were compared to the heat storage of 25cm-thickness masony
wall.
