Item Encapsulated high temperature PCM as active filler material in a thermocline-based thermal storage system(2015-05-01) Muñoz-Sánchez, B.; Iparraguirre-Torres, Iñigo; Madina, Virginia; Izagirre, Usoa; Unzurrunzaga-Iturbe, A.; García-Romero, A.; Madina-Arrese, V.; Izagirre-Etxeberria, U.; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; MATERIALES PARA CONDICIONES EXTREMAS; INGENIERÍA DE SUPERFICIES; VALORIZACIÓN DE RESIDUOSA great concern in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is to boost energy harvesting systems, by finding materials with enhanced thermal performance. Phase Change Materials (PCM) have emerged as a promising option, due to their high thermal storage density compared to sensible storage materials currently used in CSP. A thermal storage system for solar power plants is proposed, a thermocline tank with PCM capsules together with filler materials, based on multi-layered solid-PCM (MLSPCM) thermocline-like storage tank concept [1,2]. A detailed selection of the most suitable high temperature PCM, their containment materials and encapsulation methods are shown.
