About this Research Topic
Thermal energy storage technology involves storing excess heat for future use and is widely applied in power, industry, and construction. As the proportion of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, grows in the global mix, thermal energy storage becomes increasingly vital for balancing energy supply and demand. This technology encompasses sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical storage, enhancing energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, smoothing power supply fluctuations, and alleviating the pressure on energy systems.
This Research Topic aims to advance the development and application of thermal energy storage. It welcomes contributions on the development of thermal storage materials, innovative storage structure designs, integration of computing with thermal storage, and the application of storage materials in various energy systems. We focus on the experimental and simulation-based optimization of thermal energy storage designs, as well as interdisciplinary research progress. The goal is to review cutting-edge advancements and introduce suggestions for future technology development. To ensure the feasibility of the research results for practical applications, the Research Topic includes, but is not limited to, the following themes:
1. Solar energy conversion technologies;
2. Development of novel thermal energy storage materials;
3. Integration of computing with heat storage technology;
4. Application of storage materials in energy systems;
5. Design of innovative thermal energy storage structures.
