Abstract. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems can be designed in order to maximize their impact on a specific design target, such as reducing indoor temperature diurnal swings. Identifying the foremost design objective (s) is highly important since different design objectives result in distinct optimal designs.

Hence, improving courtyard design is an efficient and sustainable strategy for improving the thermal and microclimatic conditions of urban spaces. Nasrollahi, Hatami, Khastar and Taleghani (2017) reported that the factors that most strongly affect thermal comfort in courtyards are the mean radiant temperature and wind speed.

Thermal energy storage (TES) serves as a solution to reconcile the disparity between the availability of renewable resources and the actual energy demand.

The aim is to identify the best design parameters for the courtyard to improve thermal comfort in modern LSH design. Appropriate strategies, including

Hence, thermal energy storage (TES) methods can contribute to more appropriate thermal energy production-consumption through bridging the heat demand-supply gap. In addition, TES is capable of taking over all elements of the energy nexus including mechanical, electricity, fuel, and light modules by means of decreasing heat

The three-section courtyard is the most representative traditional residence in the traditional villages in northeast Sichuan. As a unique cultural landscape, it carries the local historical style and cultural connotation. However, the high temperature weather in summer leads to a poor thermal environment in traditional residential

Pumped thermal electricity storage (or pumped thermal energy storage, PTES) stores electricity in the form of thermal energy based on sensible heat or latent heat storage materials [187], [188]. In practice, any reversible thermodynamic cycle can be used to design a PTES system based on Brayton cycles [189], Rankine (or organic Rankine)

The subject of this paper is the analysis of courtyard configuration as a dominant parameter in architectural design and energy savings. The courtyard is an

A complete methodology to design packed bed thermal energy storage is proposed. In doing so, a comprehensive multi-objective optimization of an industrial scale packed bed is performed. The results show that quasi-dynamic boundary conditions lead to a reduction of around 5% of the storage thermal efficiency.

The purpose of this research was to analyze and evaluate passive energy systems and their elements to provide implications for the design of sustainable residential buildings. An existing traditional courtyard in the city of Kashan, Iran, was used as a case study to analyze the indoor thermal comfort conditions and to develop a simulation model.

The battery temperature uniformity is improved by design and optimization of a thermal management system for Li-ion battery by Cao et al. [30]. They showed a promising improvement in the performance and reduction in power consumption at the cooling flowrate of 40 L s −1.

Even though each thermal energy source has its specific context, TES is a critical function that enables energy conservation across all main thermal energy sources [5]. In Europe, it has been predicted that over 1.4 × 10 15 Wh/year can be stored, and 4 × 10 11 kg of CO 2 releases are prevented in buildings and manufacturing areas by extensive

Two types of courtyard buildings were simulated with 200 energy models by changing the following variables: window–wall ratio (south, north, east, and west walls), window U-value, wall U-value, solar heat gain coefficient, and orientation.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems in residential buildings require energy storage to enhance their productivity; however, in present technology, battery storage systems (BSSs) are not the most cost-effective solutions. Comparatively,

Two types of courtyard buildings were simulated with 200 energy models by changing the following variables: window– wall ratio (south, north, east, and west walls), window U‐value, wall U‐value, solar heat gain coef‐ficient, and orientation.

Thermal energy can be stored, as a sensible heat in a liquid or solid medium, where the temperature of the storage material varies with the total amount of energy stored and released. As a latent heat, the thermal energy can be stored when the material changes from one-phase to another during the ‎charging and discharging process.
