Phase-Change Material Characterization for Additively Manufactured Thermal Energy Storage Systems
Melissa Messenger
Thermal energy storage systems play an important role in improving energy efficiency, enabling load shifting, and supporting the integration of renewable energy technologies. Latent heat thermal energy storage using phase change material (PCM) offers high energy storage density and near isothermal operation, making it particularly attractive for ambient and cold temperature applications. Despite these advantages, widespread adoption of PCMs remains limited due to challenges related to low therma
