Thermal energy storage (TES) is a vital tool for managing energy consumption. By storing thermal energy for later use, TES systems help reduce peak demand on the power grid, lower energy costs and contribute to sustainability goals. This article explores how TES systems work, their economic benefits and their role in supporting a more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure.
A technology called, “cool storage” offers a reliable, cost-effective means of managing electricity costs while ultimately helping to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The technology allows facilities to take advantage of less costly electricity available at night and functionally save that energy for use at a later time. Cool storage achieves this performance by using ice or chilled water as a medium for storing and deploying energy.
