Application Fundamentals Of Ice-Based Thermal Storage

As might be expected, the recent turmoil in the electric power industry has focused considerable attention on thermal storage technologies. Commercial cooling is a major contributor to peak power demand, but it also represents one of the few areas where load management methods are practical, cost-effective and proven. A well designed thermal storage system will effectively and efficiently reduce electrical demand, exploit time-of-day rates and remain totally transparent to a buildings occupants.
