LTES is the storage or release of thermal energy during a phase change process. When the material is heated, its sensible heat increases until it reaches the phase change temperature (if a solid material, the received heat will melt the material). During the melting process, a significant amount of heat is stored as latent heat (charging process).

Various enhancement techniques are proposed in the literature to alleviate heat transfer issues arising from the low thermal conductivity of the phase change materials (PCM) in latent heat thermal energy storage systems (LHTESS). The identified techniques include employment of fins, insertion of metal structures, addition of high conductivity
Usually the latent thermal energy storage performance can be assessed with the energy analysis and exergy analysis as the following equations: The heat storage ratio, which is the ratio of the total energy stored in the system to the maximum energy stored in the system, and the heat release factor are used to evaluate energy performance.
The liquid fraction directly influences energy storage and release capacity of the PCM. Understanding how the liquid fraction changes with temperature is crucial for predicting the amount of thermal energy that can be absorbed or released during the phase change process. This is vital for accurate modeling of PCM-based thermal energy storage

Sensible, latent, and thermochemical energy storages for different temperatures ranges are investigated with a current special focus on sensible and latent thermal energy storages. Thermochemical heat storage is a technology under development with potentially high-energy densities.
One of the main challenges for latent thermal energy storages is the phase change itself which requires a separation of the storage medium and HTF. Furthermore, PCMs usually have a low thermal conductivity, which limits the heat transfer and power of the storage.

In contrast, latent heat storage, which utilizes phase change materials (PCMs), provides high-density energy storage by capitalizing on phase changes occurring at specific temperatures [12].PCMs offer the advantage of tailoring temperature transitions, storage durations, and cycle consistency, rendering them an excellent choice for low-temperature
The conventional latent-energy-storage envelope primarily focuses on regulating heat transfer across walls by augmenting thermal inertia (Nizovtsev and Sterlyagov, 2024).

Among several ES methods, TES appears as one of the emerging technologies that can bridge the intermittency gap in renewables such as solar energy [], energy saving and the promotion of environmental respect (greener world).TES systems consist of a thermal energy storage medium (heat and/or cold) kept for a defined period to use it when and where it is
Thermal energy storage (TES) systems store heat or cold for later use and are classified into sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical heat storage. Sensible heat storage systems raise the temperature of a material to store heat. Latent heat storage systems use PCMs to store heat through melting or solidifying.
On the other hand, latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems have a large thermal heat capacity, high energy storage density, negligible temperature change throughout the charge
