Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
At present, the application of phase change energy storage technology in solar energy mainly includes solar hot water system , , solar photovoltaic power generation system , , PV/T system and solar thermal electric power generation . 3.1. Solar water heating system
Fiji neither has any fossil fuel energy resources nor any nuclear power stations. It imports all its fuel requirements for transportation and electricity. Renewable energy resources are mainly used for electric power generation. Due to geographical location of Fiji, it has good renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, biomass and hydro.
Phase change energy storage-wind and solar hybrid system. The application of phase change energy storage technology in the utilization of new energy can effectively solve the problem of the mismatch between the supply and demand of energy in time and space, and significantly improve the utilization rate of new energy.
