Providing buildings with electric load flexibility with packaged thermal battery cooling systems to help customers meet their financial and sustainability goals

#energystorage easy, fast, reliable, the future. https://t.co/lQWJTPyq4S

@TribLIVE If buildings had more thermal energy storage TES there would be a reduced need for battery storage. Buildings in Pittsburgh that have TES: St. Mark the Evangelist’s St. Kilian church, St. Kilian school, Morehead Federal building, Duquesne Univ. Upper St. Clair HS, Penn Hills HS

@VirtualPeaker Buildings contribute to peak demand on a big way due to heating and cooling. Thermal Battery Systems make sense because its use reduces peak demand and supports renewable energy https://t.co/Vm1Vv2lj4O

Ice Storage or Chilled Water Storage? Which Is Right for the Job? | Chiller & Cooling Best Practices https://t.co/Ldhohm3xaW Now TES is more affordable than ever with the available tax credits in the U.S.

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

Thermal Energy Storage is finally being understood as a solution for dispatching renewable energy and that buildings are a great application for thermal energy storage. https://t.co/BMYSVMLFMD

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

@EnrgyStorageCAN Great news. Next step-encourage thermal energy storage. Over half of a buildings loads are thermal. Storing energy in the form it will be used is more efficient and cost effective. Thermal Battery for thermal loads (heating, cooling, hot water) & elec. Batt for electric loads.

@janrosenow New HP Application Storage Source Heat Pump. Pushes applications to colder climates while optimizing efficiency and demand. https://t.co/jdiEFWSNgX,

#energystorage is a hot topic for ASHRAE attendees this week.

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

Got Ice? Energy storage for cooling and NOW for heating too!

[Canary Media @CanaryMediaInc]

Reason 1: Thermal storage now has a dedicated tax credit https://t.co/vGQfvNXrAT

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

@goldenmatt I have said for years, efficiency is important, but when you use electricity is more important and strategic to resiliency and cost effectiveness,.

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

Buildings have thermal and electrical loads. About half are thermal. Use thermal energy storage for thermal loads and batteries for electrical. More affordable more efficient more flexible.

[Matt Golden @goldenmatt]

I'm off the grid at the ranch for this grid emergency... Our micro grid is cranking... We have to keep the AC going because we are out of room in the batteries to store it.

Freedom!

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

And #heatpumps can delivery comfort and cost savings to commercial buildings as well. https://t.co/MffPm7vkh1

[Canary Media @CanaryMediaInc]

A study in Maine found that #heatpumps without fossil-fueled backup can deliver comfort and cost savings — even in the state’s subzero winter temperatures. Reporting by @Shemkus: https://t.co/FCCa7Nl1Zp

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

Thermal energy storage is affordable and reliable NOW. It creates a market for wind, it shifts load off peak to when it is cheaper or cleaner or both. Plus we can use it with heat pumps to reduce winter demand!

[SPEER @EEpartnership]

The #TXenergy grid narrowly avoided rolling blackouts following 2 conservation calls by ERCOT last week. We need demand-side solutions & policy action.

🚨Have you registered for our Policy + Industry Workshop, Sept. 26-27 in Austin? https://t.co/HPVxlo9DRK

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

The solution is to either reduce or time-shift some of that demand, Victor says Got Ice storage? #energystorage https://t.co/NgWhrIrVzX

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

Thermal energy storage incentives could lower the requirement with resiliency and reliability

[Rebecca Smith @fiat_luxe]

#energytwitter - Anyone have a really evocative graphic for the utter scale of renewables we have to add to the mix to meet climate goals? Either globally, US, regionally, etc.? I have a few I use but I feel like people really, really don't get the scale of how many TW needed.

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

Add to that the commercial opportunity of thermal energy storage. Transparent DER’s that would provide cooling during curtailment. Sharing the savings would incentivize more installations. Almost half of all building loads are thermal! Makes to much sense

[Craig Lawrence @clawrence]

Fun math - ERCOT wholesale pricing currently pegged at $5000/MWh. @austinenergy is asking me to curtail my thermostat for 2 hours (3:30-5:30pm). At 5kW, that's 10kWh of energy, worth about $50 on the wholesale market. And, they will pay me $0. So much untapped DR potential.

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

How about thermal energy storage? Move the HVAC on peak load to other times. 75% of all electricity goes to buildings and half of that is thermal loads. Proven. Reliable. Efficient. Affordable.#thermal energy storage

[Texas Energy News @TxEnergyBiz]

Texas seems to set a new record for energy use every week. How about energy efficiency? Electricity storage? Homegrown and local power like rooftop solar? Good for Texans and the grid. #txlege #txenergy https://t.co/eFzw3xHcP2

[Paul Valenta @PaulValenta]

The ability to shift load to save money or reduce carbon will be very important sooner rather than later. https://t.co/PFZhbPyGI1
