In recent years, especially latent heat thermal energy storages, exploiting the high energy density of phase change material (PCM), are becoming widely applied in industry. A novel approach is investigated in the project HyStEPs, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) with grant number 868842. In this concept, containers filled with PCM are placed at the shell surface of a Ruths steam storage, to increase storage efficiency. In this work, a two-dimensional model using the finite element method is developed to simulate the PCM of the hybrid storage as designed in the HyStEPs project. The apparent heat capacity method is applied in a MATLAB implementation, considering heat transfer by both conduction and natural convection. This successfully validated code can handle any desired layout of materials arranged on a rectangular domain. Furthermore, a parameter study of different dimensions and orientations of the PCM cavity was conducted. The impact of natural convection was found to lead to significantly varying behaviour of the studied cavities with different orientation during the charging process, while it was found to be negligible during the discharging process. 606 $aEnergy conversion & storage$2bicssc 606 $aHeat transfer processes$2bicssc 606 $aThermodynamics & heat$2bicssc 606 $aComputer modelling & simulation$2bicssc 610 $alatent heat storage 610 $ahybrid storage 610 $afinite element method 610 $aphase change 610 $anumerical modeling 615 7$aEnergy conversion & storage 615 7$aHeat transfer processes 615 7$aThermodynamics & heat 615 7$aComputer modelling & simulation 700 $aKasper$b Lukas$4auth$01304131 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485581403321 996 $aModeling of the Phase Change Material of a Hybrid Storage using the Finite Element Method$93027313 997 $aUNINA
