Abstract
The intermittent nature of solar energy is a drawback to its wide use in the absence of solar radiation. Therefore, there is the need for some forms of thermal storage. The objective of this study ...
Highlights
Increase in industrial development and population growth has continued to place a high demand on energy
Thermal storage performance of concrete as a thermal storage media was compared to a hybrid concrete-graphite material
The average temperature attained by the hybrid material was 5.54% higher than using concrete only and the charging time for the hybrid material was 25% lower that when using concrete
Summary
Increase in industrial development and population growth has continued to place a high demand on energy. To balance the energy supply and demand, equipment powered by solar energy require some form of thermal energy storage (TES) for use at a later time during the absence of solar radiation (Singh, Saini, & Saini, 2009; Tiwari, Kumar, & Sarviya, 2013). It is becoming more economically viable to study and develop methods of storing the sun’s energy so that it can be used when needed
