Carrier Thermal Energy Storage system In a global context affected by a continuous increase of electricity prices and the challenge of reducing our environment impact, energy must be saved and controlled. For energy demand management and sustainable approach to intelligent buildings, Carrier proposes the Thermal Energy Storage technology (TES) by latent heat. Carrier Thermal Energy Storage key benefits € REDUCED MAINTENANCE & ELECTRICITY COSTS SUSTAINABLY DESIGNED TURNKEY SOLUTION Solution concept The TES technology consists of Phase Change Materials (PCM) used to store in nodules the cooling thermal energy produced by chillers. By storing the thermal energy during the night and releasing it during the day, this solution allows using the electricity at the lowest prices and avoids the peaks. By spreading the thermal energy production over 24 hours, TES can reduce the capacity of the chillers by 30% to 70%*. Histogram of a building’s daily cooling needs and its electricity consumption profile Without TES With TES Discharge Direct production Storage 8h 20h 8h 20h Storage solution shifts your electricity consumption from peak to off peak hours CONTROLS Designed and implemented by the one of the worldwide leader in Thermal Energy Storage + 3 000 customers worldwide + 65 countries + 500MW electricity saved ** + 6 000 000 kWh daily transfer *Measured differences between systems designed with and without TES **Source: Carrier estimates based on existing TES solutions at customers’ site. 850 C A R R I E R 2 0 1 6 / 2 0 1 7
