Thermal Energy Storage Technologies for Sustainability: Systems Design, Assessment and Applications

Thermal Energy Storage Technologies for Sustainability is a broad-based overview describing the state-of-the-art in latent, sensible, and thermo-chemical energy storage systems and their applications across industries. Beginning with a discussion of the efficiency and conservation advantages of balancing energy demand with production, the book goes on to describe current state-of-the art technologies. Not stopping with description, the authors also discuss design, modeling, and simulation of representative systems, and end with several case studies of systems in use. Describes how thermal energy storage helps bridge the gap between energy demand and supply, particularly for intermittent power sources like solar, wind, and tidal systemsProvides tables, illustrations, and comparative case studies that show applications of TES systems across industriesIncludes a chapter on the rapidly developing field of viable nanotechnology-based thermal energy storage systems INDICE: Energy and Energy ManagementEnergy StorageThermal Energy Storage TechnologiesSensible Thermal Energy StorageLatent Thermal Energy StorageThermo-Chemical Energy StorageNanotechnology in Thermal Energy StorageThermal Energy Storage Systems DesignReview on the Modeling and Simulation of Thermal Energy Storage SystemsAssessment of Thermal Energy Storage SystemsApplications of Thermal Energy Storage SystemsConclusions Appendix I: Unit Conversions Appendix II: Thermal Properties of Various Heat Storage Materials Appendix III: Rules of Thumb for the Thermal Energy Storage Systems Design Appendix IV: Cost and Life Cycle Analysis of Thermal Storage Systems Appendix V: Summary of Thermal Energy Storage Systems Installation
