Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems are very potent to address the environmental issues fostering sustainable development, while being able to provide a secured and uninterrupted power supply at the same time.
However, comparative global prospects and challenges of latent heat thermal energy storage are rarely found in existing literature. To make the energy storage technology more efficient and user friendly, LHTES system can be one of the potential options.
Thus, the need for energy storage is realized and results in sensible and latent heat energy storage being used. Latent heat energy storage (LHES) offers high storage density and an isothermal condition for a low- to medium-temperature range compared to sensible heat storage.
In contrast, latent heat storage and thermochemical heat storage may provide higher energy densities, but these technologies often suffer from issues related to the cost and performance of materials at scale (Chu et al. Citation 2023).
Similarly, latent heat storage systems using phase change materials (PCMs) are often affected by phase separation, subcooling, and thermal conductivity limitations, which reduce system reliability after repeated cycles (van der Roest et al. 2021). 5.1.4. Thermal losses, corrosion, and degradation
