Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Excerpt

Thermal energy storage (TES) is crucial for optimizing solar energy utilization in various sectors such as heating, cooling, process heat, and power generation. Due to the variable nature of solar radiation, TES systems help stabilize energy supply and enhance system efficiency. This chapter categorizes TES into sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical heat storage, each with unique materials and properties. Sensible heat storage involves temperature changes in materials, while latent heat storage relies on phase changes, and thermochemical storage uses reversible reactions. The chapter delves into the advantages and challenges of each storage mechanism, showcasing innovative materials and applications. It also discusses the integration of TES in solar systems, emphasizing the benefits of increased solar contribution, reduced component wear, and improved system management. Additionally, the chapter explores the economic viability and long-term stability of TES materials, making it a valuable resource for professionals seeking to advance in the field of thermal energy storage.
