What is thermal energy storage & cooling?

Thermal energy storage and cooling systems can be tailored to lengthen the life cycles and improve efficiency of large-scale battery energy storage systems.

What is cool thermal energy storage (CTEs)?

Cool thermal energy storage (CTES) has recently attracted interest for its industrial refrigeration applications, such as process cooling, food preservation, and building air-conditioning systems. PCMs and their thermal properties suitable for air-conditioning applications can be found in .

Is space heating and cooling a viable energy storage solution?

Space heating and cooling account for up to 40% of the energy used in commercial buildings.1 Aligning this energy consumption with renewable energy generation through practical and viable energy storage solutions will be critical to achieving 100% clean energy by 2050.

Where can thermal energy storage be found?

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) for chilled water systems can be found in commercial buildings, industrial facilities and in central energy plants that typically serve multiple buildings such as college campuses or medical centers (Fig 1 below).

How do thermal energy storage systems work?

Thermal energy storage systems utilize chilled water produced during off-peak times – typically by making ice at night when energy costs are significantly lower which is then stored in tanks (Fig. 2 below).

What is underground heat storage based on SHS?

Underground storage of sensible heat in both liquid and solid media is also used for typically large-scale applications. However, TES systems based on SHS offer a storage capacity that is limited by the specific heat of the storage medium. Furthermore, SHS systems require proper design to discharge thermal energy at constant temperatures.
