The solar thermochemistry laboratory of the Metropolitan Autonomous University was created in early 1982 to promote the development of solar technology in our country. A decade ago, the priority objective of designing thermal energy storage systems that allow moderating the effects of intermittent solar radiation was proposed. This not only allows us to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels but also contributes to the mitigation of global warming by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This paper highlights the benefits of research as a driver for advancing solar thermal technology and research efforts to develop heat storage systems. The work includes an overview of current thermal energy storage methods and their future projection. This work reports research developed with mixtures based on strontium carbonate doped with five compounds. The objective was to reduce agglomeration and sintering problems while significantly increasing the effective conversion and energy storage density. The experimental results demonstrate that the SrCO3+CaCO3 and SrCO3+SnO2 mixtures present better performance and stability than others. Finally, this article emphasizes the potential benefits of research, such as advancing solar technology, reducing carbon emissions, providing cleaner energy, and collaborating to address energy poverty.
Resumen. El laboratorio de termoquímica solar de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana fue creado a principios de 1982 para impulsar el desarrollo de la tecnología solar en nuestro país. Hace una década se propuso como objetivo prioritario diseñar sistemas de almacenamiento de energía térmica que permitan moderar los efectos de la radiación solar intermitente. Esto no sólo nos permite reducir el consumo de combustibles fósiles, sino que también contribuye a la mitigación del calentamiento global al reducir las emisiones de dióxido de carbono. Este artículo aborda los beneficios de la investigación como motor para el avance de la tecnología solar térmica y los esfuerzos de investigación para desarrollar sistemas de almacenamiento de calor. El trabajo incluye una revisión general de los métodos actuales de almacenamiento de energía térmica y su proyección futura. Se reportan las investigaciones desarrolladas con mezclas a base de carbonato de estroncio dopado con cinco compuestos. El objetivo es reducir los problemas de aglomeración y sinterización, al mismo tiempo que aumentar significativamente la conversión efectiva y la densidad de almacenamiento de energía. Los resultados experimentales demuestran que las mezclas SrCO3+CaCO3 y SrCO3+SnO2 presentan mejor rendimiento y estabilidad que otras. Finalmente, este trabajo enfatiza los beneficios potenciales de la investigación, como el avance de la tecnología solar, la reducción de las emisiones de carbono, el suministro de energía más limpia y la colaboración para abordar la pobreza energética.
