Selection and Characterization of Recycled Materials for Sensible Thermal Energy Storage
Abstract
Last years have been characterized by an energy consumption increase as well as a constant rise in prices for energy. Assuming the necessity of more effective utilization of energy in all spheres of human activity, energy storage is a key element to improve the efficiency of energy utilization in different economical aspects. It is the way of bridging the time gap between the energy supply and the energy demand.
