Abstract

With the rapid increase in energy demand, focusing on renewable sources of energy have been increased rapidly. As fossil fuels are created in hundreds of years and will be exploited soon, if other sources of energy are not employed then the world may enter in dark age .So there is a paradigm shift in searches for sources of energy from non-renewable to renewable sources. Solar energy, Wind energy, Hydro energy, Tidal energy, Geothermal energy, Biomass energy are getting the attention of the entire scientific community being renewable sources of energy. There are different materials which are used to store thermal energy. Phase Change Material has proved its significant role in thermal energy storage. This article provides a comprehensive view of Phase change material, it's working principle, it's types and application in different fields. As such, this paper summarizes the investigations made on the recent researches in the field of phase change material for thermal energy storage. This paper will benefit the researcher in conducting further research on thermal energy storage.
