Build Thermal Storage, Not Power Plants 1 Citation The following is part of a report written by: Scot M. Duncan, The concepts discussed herein apply to any utility, state or region facing pollution issues, power generation capacity shortages, or transmission and distribution congestion and having the desire to improve power plant efficiency and reduce the need to build new power plants. There is no one silver bullet, there are many proven technologies and business models that applied collectively or individually can bring real improvemen, technorati.com

1 Citation Make ice when electricity is cheap. Melt the ice for air conditioning when electricity is expensive or in high demand. Pretty simple alternative to spending billions building new coal fired electric power plants. Thermal Energy Storage, TES systems have been in use for almost a hundred years. One of the original applications was to use a small inexpensive compressor to make ice all week long and then melt all that ice to cool the sanctuary for two hours on Sunday. We have been using, technorati.com

1 Citation Storing thermal energy for use at a later time is an excellent energy management strategy. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems can store low-cost energy that is generated off-peak as an electrical demand cost-control measure. But TES can also be used to hedge in competitive utility markets for both electricity and gas, to reduce emissions, and to lower energy use. Frequently, energy is available at one time but needed at another time. TES systems bridge the two times. TES is a mature techno, technorati.com

1 Citation If demand reduction and off-peak power consumption continue to command substantial discounts in electric power costs, the question arises, ?Why will thermal storage continue to be an attractive method of achieving load shifting in the deregulated energy market?? Several reasons include: Thermal storage systems target the most egregious contributor to poor load profiles-commercial cooling systems. Also, the technology exists and is proven. Thermal storage represents one of the few legitimate t, technorati.com

The benefits of thermal storage systems for air-conditioning 1 Citation Thermal storage, introduced in building air-conditioning, is the system which levels the power load by storing the daytime power demand for air-conditioning, pushing the peak power demand up, in the form of heat in advance. Energy-saving effects of thermal storage systems -Comparison with conventional air-conditioning systems- (1) Improved efficiency of heat pumps using rated operation In thermal storage systems, heat pumps always can be run at high-efficiency rated outputs without emula, technorati.com

Energy Piles ? The Technology Explained 1 Citation Energy piles are a source of green heat along with solar thermal energy. But, from that point onward the similarities cease. There is also a common misconception about energy piles which we would like to clear-up here, before we start this article. The use of energy piles, as described here and as commonly used in this respect, has very little if anything to do with geothermal energy where steam and hot water are used to drive turbines to generate electricity. Geothermal energy requires a s, technorati.com
