 DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF A CASCADED PCM LATENT HEAT THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE UNIT FOR EXTENDED NIGHT SOLAR CROP DRYING
REFNo: SIR487ES

General Objective: To develop and evaluate the performance of a cascaded PCM packed-bed latent heat thermal energy storage (PB-LHTES) unit capable of supplying energy for extended night drying of crops.

Specific Objectives:
i. To perform simulations to determine the appropriate quantities of the available PCMs required for the cascaded PCM LHTES unit to last at least 11 hours of discharge.
ii. To refine the design and develop the cascaded PCM LHTES system based on the simulation results, focusing on integrating the PCMs and system architecture.
iii. Test and evaluate the thermal performance and efficiency of the developed cascaded PCM LHTES unit in real-world conditions under no load.
iv. To Implement the cascaded PCM LHTES system in a pilot-scale solar drying setup and assess its performance in drying select crop types.
