Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal energy storage (TES) has become an essential aspect of the energy industry, since it has the potential to overcome the existing mismatch between energy production and the demand for discontinuous energy sources at high temperatures and/or variable loads for medium thermal energy demand.
In this sense, one of the main drawbacks of TES systems is their material corrosion issues; this is one of the key parameters to control since it is the most common cause of failure in the components, leading to huge losses with regard to production and materials, unplanned shutdowns, as well as threats to human and environmental safety. Additionally, in the renewable energy industry, the prevention of high-temperature corrosive attacks plays a critical role in aspects such as reliability, quality, safety and profitability.
To solve these issues, both corrosion mitigation as well as the development of advanced thermodynamic and electrochemical corrosion analysis offer great potential, providing value to the whole development of the process, with benefits for a wide sector of the market, including medium- and high-temperature developments.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in the thermodynamic and electrochemical corrosion properties of thermal energy storage materials at low, medium and high temperatures, and will address a wide range of applications, including building efficiency, renewable energy technologies or industrial waste heat recovery.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- The development of TES materials for sensible, latent and thermochemical energy storage systems;
- Advanced TES materials for concentrated solar power technology;
- Sorption and chemical reaction control;
- The simulation of thermodynamic properties of materials and coatings;
- Corrosion studies on TES systems and mitigation strategies;
- The development of tools for corrosion monitoring;
- The enhancement of the thermal properties of TES materials;
- Modelling and simulation of TES materials.
