An indirect type solar-dryer integrated with energy-storage medium of a packed-bed was built, and the design efficiency was evaluated by dehydrating slices of orange. The efficiency of dyer exergy ranged from 50.18% to 66.58% without energy storage and 54.71%–68.37% with energy storage, respectively [ 62 ].
Energy Storage explains the underlying scientific and engineering fundamentals of all major energy storage methods. These include the storage of energy as heat, in phase transitions and reversible chemical reactions, and in organic fuels and hydrogen, as well as in mechanical, electrostatic and magnetic systems.
The vehicle-to-grid concept emerged very quickly after the integration of renewable energy resources because of their intermittency and to support the grid during on-peak periods, consequently preventing congestion and any subsequent grid instability. Renewable energies offer a large source of clean energy, but they are not controllable, …
Fossil fuels are widely used around the world, resulting in adverse effects on global temperatures. Hence, there is a growing movement worldwide towards the introduction and use of green energy, i.e., energy produced without emitting pollutants. Korea has a high dependence on fossil fuels and is thus investigating various energy …
