This paper reports the results of an experimental program on sustainable cementitious composites made with Recycled Brick Aggregates (RBAs) employed as carriers for Phase-Change Materials (PCMs). The PCM-RBAs were produced ...

Carnot batteries represent state-of-the-art technology in the fields of thermal energy storage and dispatchable electricity generation. The thermal energy usually comes from solar thermal power plants. The present study ...

The paper aims to develop a methodology for energy optimization of the residential sector which proposes a proper use of energy storage technologies applied to massive retrofitting. This research began as a mitigation ...

The enhancement in the storage systems developed by solar thermoelectric centrals brings to this renewable energy a considerable efficiency increase. This improvement propitiates the design of storage fluids with lower ...

Thermal energy storage (TES) transfers heat to storage media during the charging period, and releases it at a later stage during the discharging step. It can be usefully applied in solar plants, or in industrial processes, ...
