What are the cement energy storage technologies?
By stabilizing energy availability and optimizing the use of renewable resources, cement energy storage technologies can play a
Firstly, concrete is a widely available and cost-effective material, making it suitable for large-scale energy storage systems. The high thermal conductivity of concrete allows for efficient heat transfer, facilitating the storage and retrieval of thermal energy.
Concrete's robust thermal stability, as highlighted by Khaliq & Waheed and Malik et al., positions it as a reliable long-term medium for Thermal Energy Storage (TES). This stability ensures the integrity of concrete-based TES systems over extended periods, contributing to overall efficiency and reliability.
Their study provides insights into the thermal performance of concrete for high-temperature applications, enabling the design and optimisation of thermal energy storage systems that can operate effectively at elevated temperatures.
Integration of Phase Change Materials (PCMs): Investigating the integration of PCMs into concrete can enhance its thermal energy storage capabilities. Research can focus on developing new PCM-concrete composites or exploring the use of microencapsulated PCMs to enhance the latent heat storage capacity of concrete. 4.
