A new thermal energy storage system leverages icemaking, demand-shifting, renewables, and virtual power plants to decarbonize buildings.
Ice-based thermal energy storage systems have a long history dating back to the zero emission, pre-electric days of the ice house. Carbon emissions entered the mix when people figured out how to deploy electricity to turn water into ice. Now the circle has come around again. Renewable energy is beginning to decarbonize ice-based thermal energy storage systems, and the US Department of Energy is here for it., and other materials, but plain water is also coming into its own.
Meanwhile, Nostromo explains that its IceBrick system is a space-saver as well as a money saver. That is a significant consideration when building managers are looking at other That explains why Nostromo is among the ice-makers to catch the eye of the Energy Department. Last January, the company reported that the agency is interested in its proposal for installing IceBrick systems in up to 120 buildings over the next three years in California and elsewhere.
As with other systems based on renewable energy and energy efficiency, the IceBrick solution can be installed on an energy-as-a-service model, in which the ratepayer does not have to pay up-front capital costs for installing the new equipment. The energy-as-a-service model typically requires monthly payments that are lower than the ratepayer would see from their utility before the upgrade, resulting in long term savings.
In September the company also won approval from the California Public Utilities Commission to qualify the IceBrick energy storage system as a
