Summary

Future smart and efficient energy management systems for space cooling and heating in building applications require novel solutions to store heat to decouple the energy demand and the availability of renewable energy sources. Latent thermal energy storages represent one of the most promising solutions; however, their cost-effective implementation
in terms of energy and cost savings and payback time needs to be verified case by case. Moreover, the design of these components is not simple because the heat transfer process involves the solid/liquid phase change that deeply affects the storage heat transfer capability. This work presents an outlook on the importance of the scaling up of the research
to deploy efficient and smart solutions for novel latent thermal energy storage systems. The paper explores the work done by the Thermal Energy Innovation research group from a few grams to hundreds of kilograms of organic phase change materials showing original and novel experimental and numerical results.
