This may be carried out by and large thru thermal energy storage (TES), in particular thru latent heat energy storage (LHES) in bio-based phase change materials (BPCMs). BPCMs possess specific chemical, physical and thermal characteristics, making them essential for meeting energy management specifications.
Incongruent Phase Change: Another major drawback of PCM storage system is incongruent phase change i.e. for an efficient implementation of the storage media, the phase change must match the operational temperature range. The incongruent melting in PCM reduces the reversibility of the phase change process and thus the heat storage capacity.
Each phase change material has a unique potential for energy savings. The results also show that, in comparison to the other options, bioPCM-Q27 significantly reduced power usage. When greenhouses utilize phase change materials in addition to power, their gas usage drops dramatically during the winter.
