Abstract

The present invention, in various embodiments, discloses a method of phase change and heat exchange between heat collection, heat transport, heat exchange, heat storage, and heat application systems. In a specific embodiment, the heat transfer fluid / heat exchange fluid, heat storage medium, and working medium in the system are all phase-change materials whose transition temperatures are close to each other, and they are arranged in descending order and within a relatively narrow temperature range They perform their respective functions by undergoing phase transitions. The present invention also provides methods for arbitrary control of the rate of heat transfer, heat exchange, and / or charge / discharge rates between heat collection, thermal energy storage, and heat application devices. The invention also provides a method of controlling such a system.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit and priority of USSN 61 / 446,335, filed February 24, 2011, USSN 61 / 533,626, filed September 12, 2011, and 61 / 570,520, filed December 24, 2011. The aforementioned applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. [0003] Statement of Government Sponsorship [0004] (Not applicable) Background technique [0005] Energy storage is of considerable importance in energy-consuming applications. These applications include conventional and renewable utility power generation, building heating and air conditioning, industrial process heating and more. Energy storage allows nuclear and coal plants to switch from generating electricity during low demand times to generating electricity during peak demand times. Energy storage to meet grid demand is even more important for wind and solar plants because the electrical output of these sources varies with time of day and weather c...
