Results of 4 years R&D in the IEA Task4224 on compact thermal energy storage: Materials development for system integration
conference paper
Since January 2009, experts from the fields of material development and system integration are working together in the joint Task42/Annex24 to develop better materials for the compact storage of heat and to design, build and test systems in which these novel materials are being applied. In the Task, over 50 organisations from 17 countries all over the world collaborated, in national and international projects. These activities resulted in a varied collection of results, from new compact storage materials, through better testing and characterisation methods, to numerical methods to predict the performance of novel materials, of components and systems. This article introduces some of the developments in the Task.
