Among the many roles TES can play in NZEV are providing uninterrupted use of renewable energy for heating and cooling, flexibility options for power generation and secure and long-life use of electronics that are becoming more and more important in the digitized world. TES can be done using sensible heat, latent heat and thermochemical concepts. Latent heat storage has the capability of charging and recharging at a high capacity and constant temperature, which makes it stand out among the other TES concepts. Phase change materials (PCM) are employed in latent heat storage to provide these features. Solid-liquid and solid-solid phase changes are preferred in PCM applications to avoid complexity of dealing with gas phase. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
