Currently, non-renewable resources are heavily consumed, leading to increased global warming resulting from the production of carbon dioxide etc., phase change materials (PCMs) regarded as a solution mitigate these crises attributed their promising thermal energy storage capability. In this critical review, properties different encapsulation methods PCMs summarised and compared. Encapsulation ensures that used safely efficiently, therefore method needs be thoroughly investigated improved before practical implementation. The applicable for techniques such particle diameter, enthalpy, efficiency cycling times reviewed. Future researchers advised measure report conductivities, displaying them in convenient manner; many studies ignore parameter, hindering research progression. Evaluation criteria mechanical should developed enable comparisons between studies. It is suggested eutectic metallic PCMs, sol-gel methods, complex coacervation spray drying areas can further better microcapsule performance, higher yield, synthesis conditions. future, bifunctional microcapsules, copolymer encapsulation, doped high-performance highly developments when compared with current monofunctional capsules pure polymer shells.

A global transition towards more sustainable production and consumption systems has led to an increasing share of renewables in the energy market. Renewables, majorly solar PV wind power are accounted for around 10 % 2020. In this context, concentrated (CSP) technologies seen be one most promising ways generate electric coming decades. However, because intermittent nature energy, key factors that determine development CSP technology is integration efficient cost-effective thermal storage (TES) systems. TES system not only plays a crucial role bridging gap between supply demand but also increases performance reliability conservation. Though there have been many reviews on system, however existing literature either over 5 years old or focus materials low temperature applications. To bridge gap, work presents comprehensive review actual state all major components cutting-edge application condenses available information categorizes them considering main functional parts remarking current research progress each part as well future challenging issues.

Ground heat exchangers are surrounded by grout material, making it one of the most important components in geothermal energy applications since significantly affects system's thermal performance. The current study reviews different types materials and compares their thermophysical properties. critical parameter is grout's conductivity which always presents a proportional relation with efficiency. Numerous factors involved this review to ascertain theier impact on grouts' performance such as flowability, shrinkage, moisture content, freezing, capacity, strength, permeability, solubility imbalance. grouts compared bentonite, cement, sand, graphite, controlled low-strength dolomite, phase change materials. literature shows that best choices grouting they can provide high storage stability temperature uniformity. major problem low conductivity. Thus, recommended use composite enhance increase storage/retrieval rate.
