Thermal Energy Storage

Build Cost Efficiency and Resiliency into Your Physical Plant

A Thermal Energy Storage tank can provide significant financial benefits starting with energy cost savings. The solution can reduce peak electrical load and shift energy use from peak to off-peak periods. You can also avoid costs by incorporating a TES tank into your infrastructure. For example, instead of replacing a worn-out chiller with another chiller, or adding a chiller for extra capacity, you could add a TES tank and utilize the excess nighttime cooling capacity of your central plant. While the initial costs may be similar, TES tanks are shown to provide lower energy and operational costs over time. And with every TES tank, you get invaluable additional resiliency for your campus with a large reservoir of cold or hot water that can be used for cooling or heating if the HVAC systems go off-line unexpectedly. Incentives from electric utility providers as well as tax credits can also enhance the positive economic impacts when you incorporate a TES solution.
