β¦ Synopsis
To make full use of surplus electricity at night and even off the peak electric demands in the daytime, a residence(the Clean Energy House) with the earth heat storage system and the photovoltaic system is being developed in Kumamoto City, Kyushu Island. The thermal performance of the earth heat storage system including the house is predicted by numerical simulations. The performance of the solar cells installed on the roof of the house is predicted with the regression equations from some experimental studies conducted by the authors. It is predicted that the house can be air-conditioned only by surplus electricity at night. The other electric demands such as lighting, cooking etc. can be met by the photovoltaic system.

## Abstract An energy storage system that stores energy in the form of liquid air was studied. In this system, the cool storage unit was the most important unit. From the viewpoint of safety and economy, it was most promising to store the cold energy as the sensitive heat of a solid such as pebbles
The concept of a solar energy heat pipe latent heat storage system is presented. Iu order to assure large charging aud discharging rates, finned heat pipes are used to transfer heat to and from the phase-change material (paraffin in this case). The evolution of the solid -liquid interface is studied
