Marketing Cool Storage Technology
Abstract
With the general increase in electricity rates,
commercial and industrial customers have become
strongly motivated to seek methods of achieving
reductions in electric bills. At the same
time, electric utilities have been faced with
rising construction costs, more stringent
regulations, and increasing environmental
constraints regarding development of new
generating facilities. As the viability of
cool storage has been substantiated by research
conducted by Electric Power Research Institute,
and by numerous installations, it has become
acknowledged that cool storage can provide
substantial benefits to utilities and end-users
alike.
A need was recognized for a means to provide
for technology transfer and dissemination of
current information in the field. The
International Thermal Storage Advisory Council
was formed to help meet this perceived need.
This paper will review activities of EPRI and
ITSAC to achieve widespread acceptance of the
technology.
