We review the literature on analytical models of advanced adiabatic compressed air energy
storage plants with isochoric reservoirs, with a focus on the insights that can be extracted …

This study is aimed at a succinct review of practical impacts of grid integration of renewable
energy systems on effectiveness of power networks, as well as often employed state-of-the …

Thermal energy storage can facilitate the effective utilization of renewable energy. To speed
up the design process of thermal energy storage devices, it is critical to develop fast and …

Heat pipe heat exchangers (HPHE) were widely applied as a recovery energy device in
HVAC systems and significantly can reduce the energy consumption of HVAC systems. This …

Currently, refrigerated trucks adopt vapor-compression refrigeration systems for controlling
the temperature of refrigerating compartment. This inevitably increases fuel consumption …

The optimal concentrations of CO 2 for plant growth in greenhouses are commonly higher
than that in the atmosphere. A new strategy using direct air carbon-capture was developed …

A novel complementary adsorption-absorption post-combustion partial CO 2 capture
strategy was proposed to decrease the energy penalty by integrating the rotary adsorption …

A novel rotary regenerative heat exchanger with cascaded phase change material (PCM)
capsules was proposed and proved to be a better alternative to the traditional one. The …

Thermal energy is the energy from a substance in which molecules and atoms vibrate faster
because of an increase in temperature. Thermal energy storage (TES) is an available …

The use of air as heat transfer fluid and a packed bed of rocks as storage medium for a
thermal energy system (TES) can be a cost-effective alternative for thermal applications …
