A review on packed bed solar energy storage systems
Coutier and Farber [2] mentioned that packed bed generally represents the most suitable energy storage unit for air based solar systems. During the charging mode, solar heated air is forced into the top of the container, i.e. upper plenum and then passes evenly down through the bed heating the storage and passes out through the lower plenum.
