Design and Thermodynamic Evaluation of a Cascaded Waste Heat Recovery System with Thermal Energy Storage

The project focuses on the design and thermodynamic evaluation of a cascaded industrial waste heat recovery system integrated with thermal energy storage (TES). The system recovers waste heat and utilizes it sequentially according to temperature grade, supplying high-, medium-, and low-temperature process demands. Thermal energy storage is incorporated to store excess thermal energy and provide heat when required. The project includes system design, heat-transfer analysis, and transient charging and discharging modelling to evaluate the performance of the proposed system.
