Phase-Change Thermal Energy Storage: Final Subcontract Report on the Symposium Held 19-20 October 1988, Helendale, California

    Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

    Abstract

    Participants concluded phase-change materials would probably not meet cost goals in the immediate future. However, two alternative storage options emerged: encapsulation of phase-change salts and chemical energy storage using hydroxide/oxide reactions.
