According to the New York Times there are alternatives to batteries including one technology that stores energy in the form of ice. (See end of article, The Biggest, Strangest 'Batteries', for full details.)

Inc magazine featured CALMAC's family business, asserting that CALMAC's cooling systems keep office workers comfortable and ice skaters happy all over the world.

Noteworthy, thermal storage projects included the Rosebank Towers, 4-Star Green Star building  whose 7500kWh of thermal energy storage capacity supplements chiller cooling and Encore, a LEED for Neighborhood Development Gold–rated community that uses ice thermal energy storage for district cooling.

In other news, an article on the CALMAC website named the 3 reasons why demand for thermal storage – ice air-conditioning is growing. And CALMAC's Evan Berger gave pointers on microgrid design and cost.
