Whitepaper: Ice Storage or Chilled Water Storage. Which one is right for the job?

Ice Storage and Chilled Water have plenty in common. Both are reliable energy storage solutions that have been deployed for years, and both are capable of making it easier for facilities to efficiently operate their cooling systems. Both have superior benefits over traditional cooling.

They offer energy costs savings, back up cooling capacity, may extend an existing system capacity at less cost than conventional non-storage, make renewables more viable, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower transmission line losses. Up to 14 percent of the electricity traveling across the grid can be lost by inefficiencies in the system, especially during the summer daytime periods. Storing ice at night puts less pressure on the grid - the system is most vulnerable during peak demand periods when an entire regions attempt to draw power at the same time.
