This study aims to address the limitations of conventional paraffin-based PCM by developing binary mixtures of fatty alcohols. Through theoretical calculations, binary phase diagram fitting, and experimental validation, the thermal performance, phase transition behavior, and integration methods of these mixtures were thoroughly investigated using techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that 1-dodecanol/1-tetradecanol (TD) mixtures were unsuitable for building applications due to their inability to form eutectic phases. However, two eutectic PCMs, namely HD82.44 (82.44 % 1-dodecanol/17.56 % 1-hexadecanol) and OD82.66 (82.66 % 1-dodecanol/17.34 % 1-octadecanol), were successfully synthesized. HD82.44 began melting at 16.4 °C, reached peak heat absorption at 19.6 °C and a melting latent heat of 193.7 J/g. Solidification started at 17.3 °C, with two exothermic peaks at 14.2 °C and 6.8 °C, and a freezing latent heat of 192.4 J/g. The solid and liquid specific heats were 2.02 J/(g·°C) and 2.56 J/(g·°C), respectively. OD82.66 began melting at 18.1 °C, with peak thermal effect at 21.4 °C.

Its solid and liquid specific heats were 2.02 J/(g·°C) and 2.67 J/(g·°C), respectively. Both PCM displayed no supercooling, suitable phase change temperatures, and high thermal storage properties, making them promising alternatives to traditional paraffin-based PCM for thermal energy storage in buildings.

In the initial cycle, longer charging times and higher charging energy/exergy rates are evident due to lower average temperatures. However, this performance gap diminishes in subsequent cycles. As cycles progress, temperature evolution within the TES unit (except bottom temperature) becomes more predictable, yet a thermal performance gap persists. Although these enhancements are irregular, energy and exergy efficiency improve each cycle. Specifically, energy efficiency increases by 15.0 % and 18.0 %, and exergy efficiency increases by 11.4 % and 13.4 % for Cycles 2 and 3, respectively, relative to Cycle 1. Adopting the stepped temperature change strategy results in extended charging/discharging times but yields a more gradual temperature variation and a stable energy/exergy rate. While this method amplifies energy dissipation and irreversible losses during charging, it minimizes entropy increase during discharging, enhancing exergy efficiency. The energy/exergy efficiencies for Cases 1, 2, and 3 are 83.7/62.8 %, 82.5/71.1 %, and 80.9/67.9 %, respectively. Similarly, implementing the stepped flow rate change strategy, particularly with a lower flow rate (Case 4), leads to slightly prolonged charging and discharging but results in smoother temperature changes and more stable energy/exergy rates. The energy/exergy efficiencies for Cases 4 and 5 are 85.7/65.2 % and 83.7/63.1 %, respectively. Although there exists a slight gap in the energy and exergy efficiencies among the three cases, the stepped flow rate change strategy ensures stable energy transfer and high efficiency. Overall, strategic thermal management is crucial for TES systems, and the findings can potentially advance the development of energy storage solutions for dynamic and flexible energy systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of energy storage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) is one of the most preferred cell chemistry for EV and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) applications. The estimation of LFP cells is fraught with difficulties due to the presence of high hysteresis and the flat nature of SoC-OCV characteristics. To enhance the accuracy of the SoC estimate, this paper attempts to model LFP cells using a Fractional Order Model (FOM) and incorporate the dynamic hysteretic nature into the same model. An FOM is able to capture the battery dynamics over the entire frequency range of interest better than the conventional Integer Order Model (IOM). To build the FOM at first, EIS tests are performed at varying SoC levels to obtain the complex impedance function of frequency. Then, an FOM-based Equivalent Circuit Model (ECM) is obtained from the impedance data from the EIS test using Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) Algorithm. The hysteresis effect is captured as a non-linear state dynamic characterised by a decay rate parameter. A novel method for estimating the hysteresis decay rate parameter, independent of ECM, is proposed and implemented using DEKF. The overall model is validated using voltage-current data for standard drive cycles like UDDS and NEDC. The model is compared against those using an FOM with a switched hysteresis model, an Integer Order Model (IOM) with a dynamic hysteresis model, and an IOM with a switched hysteresis model with laboratory test data. The estimation accuracy is observed to be considerably and consistently better for the proposed model, even under different ambient temperatures with a Mean Absolute Error of less than 1.5%. Such improvements will, in turn, lead to improvements in various EV functions such as the estimation of Electric Range, Remaining Useful Life as well as Energy Management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of energy storage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
