Project Summary
Phase change Material (PCM) is an isothermal energy-saving material with higher latent heat storage density. Power generation from renewable energy sources fluctuates with time and so the demand for energy storage when abundantly available is increasing. PCM’s potential is evaluated for such energy storage. PCM can also be used for building energy conservation purposes. This project will evaluate different material potential to be used for PCM to store energy in building applications. The main focus of this project would be the Asian region, basically on Pakistan. The selected city is Islamabad.
Project Objectives
- Investigation of thermal properties of PCMs accurately.
- Study of PCMs for thermal energy storage (TES) applications.
- To evaluate different materials' (PCMs) potential to store energy.
Project Implementation Method
