selection method that directly minimizes total consumer payments ["payment cost minimization" (PCM)] may benefit social welfare … in the long term. The objective of this project is to further investigate the long term benefit of PCM implementation and … developed using EMCAS, a real-time market simulator. Results of a 30-day simulation showed that PCM reduced energy costs for …

A kind of heat conduction-enhanced shape-stabilized PCM (HCE-SSPCM) was utilized in the under-floor heating system for … all day. The effect of thermal conductivity of the PCM on energy savings and economic benefits of the system were … showed that enhancing the thermal conductivity of PCM in a certain range could significantly improve the energy efficiency of …

The thermal performance of building walls integrated with phase change materials (PCM) was evaluated in terms of heat … thin layers placed longitudinally within the walls. The thin PCM layer was integrated into the wall via a thermal shield …, whereby the PCM was contained in thin sealed polymer pouches, arranged in sheets laminated with aluminum foil on both sides …

process are compared for the different thermocline, single PCM, cascaded PCM and the proposed multi-layered solid-PCM (MLSPCM …) configurations. The analysis shows that the multi-layered solid-PCM concept is a promising alternative for thermal storage in CSP …

Thermal evaluation of non-deform laminated composite phase change material (PCM) gypsum board has been carried out. The … theoretical studies covered the analysis of different thicknesses of PCM layers and their corresponding heat transfer rates during … PCM layer under various conditions. For the purpose of experimental study and validation, a laminated gypsum board …

–liquid PCM (phase-change material) is piled up as the porous-medium layer. The composite PCM, which melts over a temperature … the PCM and the heat resource or cold resource in this device occurs in the form of a cyclic phase change of the heat …-transfer medium, which directly occurs on the surface of the PCM and has an extremely high heat-transfer coefficient.
