With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ET4PCM project will develop the first-of-its-kind, smart, non-invasive impedance sensor to monitor the liquid fraction of PCMs in real time. Development of in silico smart-control tools at a predictive analytics consulting company and deployment of the electrical impedance tomography technology in a real-world system will help ensure success.
Main results
Phase change materials (PCMs) absorb and release (latent) heat when they change phase: for example, water releases heat as it freezes and absorbs heat as it melts. Advanced PCMs are a key enabler of low-carbon heating and cooling. Their use requires smart monitoring and control, given the temporal mismatch between energy availability and heating/cooling demand.
