—An explosive increment of data and a variety of data analysis make it indispensable to lower power and cooling costs of cloud datacenters. To address this issue, we investigate the thermal impact of I/O access patterns on data storage systems. Firstly, we conduct some preliminary experiments to study the thermal behavior of a data storage node. The experimental results show that disks have ig...

The rise in distributed renewable energy generation creates a growing need to find viable solutions for storage match demand and supply at any time. This paper evaluates the possibility of using swimming pools as long-term cooling solution, i.e., Swimming Pool Thermal Energy Storage (SPTES). technology allows small building store solar purposes yearly cycle, by filling pool with ice slurry wint...

Buildings consume approximately 4 of the total electricity generated in the United States, contributing significantly to fossil fuel emissions. Sustainable and renewable energy production can reduce fossil fuel use, but necessitates storage for energy reliability in order to compensate for the intermittency of renewable energy generation. Energy storage is critical for success in developing a s...

Due to fast depletion of conventional energy sources and ever increasing demand of energy, many researchers started paying attention to renewable energy sources.Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is one of the key technologies for energy conservation and has recently been developed to a point where it can have a significant impact on modern technologies. The present work deals with the study of a sph...

energy consumption is very high in greenhouses mainly due to off-season production. the main source of its energy supply is fossil fuels. due to the disadvantages of fossil fuels consumption and preventive laws in the incoming years, study on reducing consumption and replacing a part of them with renewable energy is essential. in this research, a solar heating system, equipped with a concentrat...

This paper studies the influence of material thermal properties on charging dynamics in a low temperature Thermal Energy Storage, which combines sensible and latent heat. The analysis is based small scale packed bed with encapsulated PCMs, numerically solved using COMSOL Multiphysics. PCMs studied are materials constructed typical (melting temperature, density, specific heat capacity (solid liq...

Packed bed or rock bed is very commonly known thermal energy storage component for solar air heaters. The major concern for design of packed bed energy storage system is to maximize the heat transfer with minimum pressure drop or pumping power. Under the given operating conditions, system parameters could affect heat transfer and pressure drop in the bed considerably. An attempt has been made t...
