Thermal Energy Storage Quick Guide

Thermal ice storage provides several benefits for buildings: 1. It shifts cooling load to off-peak times, reducing peak energy demand and allowing utilities to serve more customers without adding capacity. 2. It reduces energy costs by shifting demand to low-cost, off-peak periods and avoiding high on-peak and demand charges, providing quick payback for installations. 3. Ice storage is ideal for demand response programs as it allows buildings to curtail energy use during peaks to receive rebates while still providing cooling. This supports smarter grids and reduces emissions.

Thermal Ice Storage QUICK

GUIDE

Why Ice?
Many regions experience:
• Energy shortages/supply issues
• Peak and off-peak pricing structures
• Demand response rebates
• Building space limited or costly
• R-22 chillers need replacing/
retrofitted

Thermal Energy Storage is your client’s solution for life!

1 ENERGY SHORTAGES
Ice storage shifts the cooling load to off-peak demand times, reducing peak loads. Thus allowing the utility
to serve more customers without having to add additional generating capacity.

2 REDUCE ENERGY COSTS


Ice storage shifts power demand to low cost periods.
Reduce energy costs by shifting peak power demand to night time or off-peak periods. Avoid on-peak,
time-of-use rates and high ratchet-based demand charges. Off-peak electricity rates can be 50% to 80%
lower! This huge energy cost saving provides short payback periods for ice storage installations.

3 IDEAL FOR DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAMS/SMARTER GRIDS


Demand response programs incentivize consumers to curtail electricity use during peak demand periods
to receive substantial rebates. Most peak electricity used is for air conditioning. Thermal ice storage is the
ideal strategy for commercial buildings to comply with demand response & still provide cooling to office
space. Demand response is a sustainable technology, reduces carbon emissions & improves grid reliability.
A smart grid combines technologies including smart meters, real time pricing, energy control, electric
vehicle integration & energy storage.

4 LIMITED SPACE
Ice storage tanks are up to 8 times SMALLER than chilled water storage tanks for the same thermal
capacity.

5 REDUCED CAPITAL COSTS


Thermal energy storage can reduce the size and cost of chillers, cooling towers and electrical switch gear
by 40% to 50%!
