In the European Union, 40% of the overall final energy consumption is attributable to the
buildings sector. A reason for such data may be found considering that the great majority of …

Thermal energy storage and transport are central to the wide application of renewable
energy. With excellent storage capacities, latent heat storage is more promising than …

The future of power generation is predicted to be greener with greater uptake in renewable
energy which will be more intermittent and make matching demand harder. Latent thermal …

Thermal behavior of the precast high-strength concrete (PHC) energy pile with phase
change material backfill (PCMB) has been rarely reported. In this study, a three-dimensional …

With the continuous deployment of renewable energy sources, many users in industrial
parks have begun to experience a power supply–demand imbalance. Although configuring …

The research on mine geothermal energy exploitation has attracted global interest for many
years. This paper proposes an innovative new method for geothermal-coal synergetic …

Ground source heat pump systems (GSHP) are one of the sustainable energy resources that
provide heating and cooling to buildings. A stable ground temperature has a key role in the …

Renewable energy sources suffer from intermittent availability. Adding a latent heat thermal
energy storage (TES) is often proposed as an efficient solution to address their stability. In …

Abstract Large-Scale Underground Energy Storage (LUES) plays a critical role in ensuring
the safety of large power grids, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources, and …

This study proposes a binary version of the recently developed Equilibrium Optimizer (EO)
widely used in various applications. The performance of the proposed Binary Equilibrium …
