What are Phase Change Materials (PCMs)
Store energy by changing from a solid to a liquid.
Ice is the traditional PCM
Energy to freeze (energy released) = Raising water by 80 oC
PCMs range from –100 to > 1400 oC

Energy Storage Economics
Li ion battery storage: 760 - 1800 $/kWhr electric (installed)
Traditional thermal storage for air conditioning: 100 – 400 $/kWhr electric
Traditional hot water storage: 140 $/kWhr electric
PCM thermal storage for refrigeration: 200 $/kWhr electric

Advantages of Thermal Energy Storage over Batteries
Cheaper
Longer life (batteries typically 10 to 15 years, thermal storage up to 30 years)
Thermal storage systems generally 100% recyclable
Can operate at higher ambient temperatures
Higher power capacity (kW)
Provides backup when heating or cooling generating equipment fails.
