Thermal energy storage (TES) has been identified by many researchers as one of the cost-effective solutions for not only storing excess or/wasted energy, but also improving systems'' reliability and thermal efficiency.

As shown in Figure 6, with the increase in heat storage temperature, the temperature hysteresis of phase change materials gradually decreases, and the phase change hysteresis degree declines. The phase change hysteresis decreases from 4.25 °C at 50 °C to 1.52 °C at. 80 °C.
Phase change materials (PCMs) can enhance the performance of energy systems by time shifting or reducing peak thermal loads. The effectiveness of a PCM is defined by its energy and power density—the total available storage capacity (kWh m −3) and how fast it can be accessed (kW m −3).).
During phase change, the temperature remains constant. The solar powered cold storage unit can use latent heat storage using PCM which supplies the heat energy during night and cloudy days [15]. Also, the PCM based latent heat energy storage will help to minimize the mismatch between energy demand and supply.
PCMs simultaneously change the phase from solid to liquid (energy absorbing) and liquid to solid (energy releasing). Therefore, a PCM should be thermally stable even after few cycles of operation. However, some researchers [23], [96], [113], [211] reported that most of the PCMs are thermally not stable after few cycles of operation.
