Mini-symposium Thermal and Cryogenic Energy Storage

The organizers of ECOS 2019 are pleased to invite to take part to the Mini-Symposium: Thermal and Cryogenic Energy Storage. The symposium aims to bring together academics and industry to review recent advances in the field of thermal energy storage, to present the latest research findings, discuss future research directions and development priorities, and build collaborations in this research area.

Authors willing to present a paper should submit an abstract in one of the following areas:

• Thermal energy storage materials (sensible, latent, thermochemical materials),
• Thermal energy storage units (modules, components, devices) and heat transfer enhancement
• Cryogenic energy storage (e.g Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES), LAES-CAES, pumped thermal energy storage, etc)
• Cold thermal energy storage for low temperature applications including air conditioning, refrigeration, cold chains, cryogenic processes
• System integration, optimisation and techno-economic analysis of thermal energy storage for applications including, but not limited to, renewable energy integration, buildings, industrial processes
• Novel concepts for thermal and cryogenic energy storage
