Abstract
⺠EPCM to store thermal energy is considered for concentrated solar power systems. ⺠Finite element analysis is used to determine stresses in a cylinder containing PCM. ⺠Isothermal heat transfer to PCM enables efficient energy storage maximizing exergy. ⺠Elastic and plastic deformation of the encapsulating cylinder are investigated. ⺠The effects of point forces, cracks and dents are examined.
