This project involved developing and successfully demonstrating a new low cost phase change material (PCM) thermal energy storage technology which used optimal control to integrate with solar PV, maximising the electricity cost savings to the end user. . Building energy demand is 40% of total energy consumption in Europe. PCM thermal energy storage together with a refrigeration system can be used like an electric battery storing renewable energy. . This article designs a high-altitude border guard post that can fully utilize the heat absorbed by solar collectors to continuously store thermal energy during the day and stably release heat at night. The PCM used in this study is paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is safe, inexpensive and ve a significant effect in. . PCMs in Different Solar Energy Systems The use of PCMs in solar thermal facilities is meant to boost the intensity of the heat that is stored as a result of the conversion of solar energy. This literature review presents the application of the PCM in solar thermal power plants, solar desalination, solar cooker, solar air heater, and solar. .
