Thermal energy storage (TES) is seen as a feasible solution to the energy crisis in the 21st century. This study focuses on the development of a TES unit with PCMs employed in a power cogeneration cycle. Firstly, the thermal analysis of some suitable PCMs was conducted through the differential scann...
