Application of Thermal Energy Storage Technology in the Defense Sector Fuels Asia Pacific Thermal Energy Storage Market
Defense applications impose a set of challenges on the usage of energy storage infrastructure. A stable, reliable, and steady power supply is important in defense applications. Phase change materials (PCM) are one of the most promising technologies in thermal energy storage. PCMs are being significantly employed and researched for enhancing thermal performance of buildings by stabilizing temperature peaks as well as power-saving functions where heating or cooling is essential. The exclusive features of a PCM-based latent heat storage system can be used in lightweight prefabricated PUF (polyurethane foam) insulated shelters leveraged by security forces to upsurge the system's thermal resistance or used in the process of storing surplus heat from sporadic renewable sources during daytime for usage at night. These features primarily help in maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the shelters. Governments of various countries are launching several research and development projects in the field of PCM applications to meet the problems of extreme temperatures met by armed forces: for example, high-capacity heat sinks for critical instruments and hot jackets for high-altitude areas. Thus, the rise in the application of thermal energy storage technology in the defense sector is likely to create lucrative opportunities for the thermal energy storage market growth during the forecast period.
