The basic principle behind PCM thermal energy storage lies in the material''s ability to absorb and release heat during phase transitions. When a PCM reaches its melting point, it absorbs a significant amount of heat from its environment. This process is called "latent heat storage". The PCM absorbs heat without increasing in temperature.

Abstract. Phase Change Materials, or briefly PCM, are a promising option for thermal energy storage, depending on the application also called heat and cold storage. Systematic investigations of PCM already started after the oil crises, and then in the late 1990s R&D on PCM intensified significantly.
Results revealed that with the increase of pore density, the energy storage rate increases due to the high total surface area for heat transfer between the metal foam and PCM. The effect of pore density is significantly different in various studies, which is determined by the relationship between thermal conduction and natural convection.
In Fig. 5, the average temperature inside the thermal storage is reported as a function of time for all considered cases.The higher the average temperature profiles, the thicker the metal foam is. In Fig. 5, a change of the slope of the average temperature profile is observed for all analyzed cases at about 330 K which is the melting temperature of

Thermal Energy Storage TES is the temporary storage of high or low temperature energy for later use, bridging the gap between requirement and energy use. The storage cycle might be daily, weekly or seasonal depending on the system design requirements, and whilst the output will always be thermal, the input may be thermal or electrical.

Results also indicated that the higher the PCM content, the higher the energy storage capacity of the sample and the lower the temperature gradient variation. In all cases, there is a good improvement in the thermal conductivity (about 3–4 times higher than the pure PCM), while a small reduction in the enthalpy of fusion is observed in
The numerical model consists of the fluid flow, the plate and the PCM. The thermal behavior of the PCM is solved by means of the conservative mass, momentum and energy (entropy) equations. Tao et al. [19], [20] developed a numerical model for PCM energy storage with a shell and tube configuration.
