The authors state that this paper [1] is an extended version of our paper published in the Proceedings of the IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Green Technology, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 11–14 December 2018.
In the original publication, Reference [2] “Amiri, L.; Ghoreishi-Madiseh, S.A.; Sasmito, A.P.; Hassani, F.P. A porous medium based heat transfer and fluid flow model for thermal energy storage in packed rock beds. In IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science; IOP Publishing: Bristol, UK, 2019; Volume 268, p. 012100” was not cited. The citation has now been inserted in the captions of Figures 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 as Reference [39]. The corrected captions are as follows:

Figure 6. Velocity profiles for the proposed systems with a porosity of 0.2 and inlet fluid velocity of 0.05 m/s on the domains with aspect ratios of: (a) 1.0, (b) 1.2, and (c) 1.35. Reprinted from Ref. [39].
Figure 7. Outlet air temperatures (°C) in charging mode (left column) and discharging (right column) versus time for different aspect ratios and porosities: (a) and (d) ε = 0.2; (b) and (e) ε = 0.35; and (c) and (f) ε = 0.5. Reprinted from Ref. [39].
Figure 9. Pressure gradients (Δp/L) as a function of Reynolds number obtained in the volume-averaged model simulations with distinct aspect ratios and porosities with (a) particle diameter 0.8 m, (b) 1.0 m, and (c) 1.2 m. Reprinted from Ref. [39].
With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
