What is the capacity of a mobile thermal energy storage device?

Conclusions This paper presents a model-based design study on a modular mobile thermal energy storage device with a capacity of approximately 400 MJ, utilizing composite phase change material modules.

What is mobile thermal energy storage (MTES)?

The challenges lie in the spatial and temporary mismatch of the heat demand and supply. Mobile thermal energy storage (M−TES) provides a potential solution to the challenges through for example, recovering the industrial waste heat to meet demands in remote and isolated communities.

Can a mobile thermal energy storage device address off-site industrial waste heat recovery?

Closed-loop hot air flow of up to 400 °C utilized achieving a full charge in 10 h. 97 % discharging efficiency with a mean rate and temperature of 10 kW and 195 °C. This study concerns with a modelling led-design of a novel mobile thermal energy storage (M−TES) device aimed to address off-site industrial waste heat recovery and reuse in the UK.

How many MJ can a MTES store?

Under baseline conditions, the M−TES can store 389 MJ during a 10-hour charging period, achieving 97 % of its maximum capacity, with the average temperature of the CPCM modules increased to 662 K. The discharging rate decreased gradually from 33 kW to 1 kW over 10 h of discharging with an average value of 10 kW.
