dc.description.abstractSupercooled phase change materials offer a promising solution for space heating due to their ability to release latent heat upon crystallization initiation, even when stored at ambient temperatures. This unique property makes them ideal for solar-assisted space heating, where external activation enables on-demand heat release, addressing the critical need for energy-efficient heating solutions. In this study, a system promoting demand shifting is proposed, aiming to transfer energy consumption from morning and evening peak periods to daytime and high solar irradiance days, thereby enhancing the efficiency of solar heat pumps and reducing grid stress through the use of supercooled crystallization-controllable phase change materials. A model was developed, consisting of evacuated tube collectors, a buffer tank, heat storage tanks with crystallization-controllable phase change material, and a building heating demand model. The study introduces a novel system control methodology, focusing on an effective operation of tank shifting based on the heating requirement and solar energy availability. Real weather data were used to calculate system performance. With 50 m2 of collectors, a 1000-liter buffer tank, and a heat pump with a maximum output of 7 kW, the heat storage tanks are charged and discharged following the developed operational methodology. The system achieved a weekly coefficient of performance of 3.56 and successfully shifted electricity demand to solar hours, with only 28.5% of the total consumption occurring during domestic morning and evening peak times.
