The application for energy storage systems varies by industry, and can include district cooling, data centers, combustion turbine plants, and the use of hot water TES systems. Utilities structure their rates for electrical power to coincide with their need to reduce loads during peak periods.
In a TES, the thermal energy from the power plant is stored when there is oversupply due to low electricity prices, and thermal energy is released to generate electricity when there is demand in the grid .
Cool storage will reduce the average cost of energy consumed and can potentially reduce the energy consumption and initial capital cost of a cooling system compared to a conventional cooling system without cool storage.
The most common Cool TES energy storage media are chilled water, other low-temperature fluids (e.g., water with an additive to lower freezing point), ice, or some other phase change material. Cool TES technologies shift electricity use by decoupling chiller operation from instantaneous loads.
Full storage refers to discharging stored capacity without any concurrent chiller operation. A full-storage strategy, also called load shifting, shifts the entire peak cooling load to off-peak hours.
