<h2>ADVANTAGES OF PHASE-CHANGE ENERGY STORAGE</h2>
- Store thermal energy at the temperature of process application
- Store thermal energy as latent heat which allows higher thermal energy storage capacity per unit weight or material without any change in temperature
- Store thermal energy from thermal energy source or electrical energy source when available and use when needed
- This technology would lead to sizing HVAC equipment for average load rather than peak load
<h2>ECONOMICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS</h2>
Store natural thermal energy for facility heating and cooling needs. Reduced energy demand reduces facilities carbon footprint
Store thermal energy during off demand hours and use during peak demand to save on energy cost and help stabilize grid load
Shift of heating and cooling load also reduces peak time stress of heating and cooling equipment that can lead to reduced operating & maintenance cost.
This technology would lead to sizing HVAC equipment for average load rather than peak load
