Study on heat transfer process of insulated floating cover of water pit for solar seasonal thermal storage

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2022
Water pit thermal energy storage (PTES) can transfer the solar energy heating from the non-heating season to the heating season, which can efficaciously cope with the mismatch problems in energy intensity, usage time and space of solar energy heating ...

Experimental Evaluation of Simple Thermal Storage Control Strategies in Low-Energy Solar Houses to Reduce Electricity Consumption during Grid On-Peak Periods

open access: yesEnergies, 2015
There is growing interest in zero-energy and low-energy buildings, which have a net energy consumption (on an annual basis) of almost zero. Because they can generate both electricity and thermal energy through the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar
