Should energy storage be integrated in refrigerated warehouses?

This work evaluated the potential benefits of integrating energy storage in the refrigerated warehouses. Two types of energy storage systems have been considered, including a cold energy storage system and an electrical energy storage system.

Which energy storage system is best for a refrigerated warehouse?

Therefore, energy storage systems, which can shift energy consumption and save costs, have attracted more and more attentions [4-7]. For refrigerated warehouses, two types of energy storage systems can be selected: the cold energy storage system and the electrical energy storage system.

Are cold and electrical energy storage systems feasible in a refrigerated warehouse?

Based on dynamic simulations, this work compared the techno-economic feasibility of integrating a cold energy storage system (Case 2) and an electrical energy storage system (Case 3) into a refrigerated warehouse. Results showed that the applications of cold and electrical energy storages in refrigerated warehouse were feasible.

When should energy storage systems be used?

To achieve a higher benefit, the stored energy in energy storage systems should be primarily used during the period with the highest electricity price. To optimize the capacity of energy storage systems and the operation, minimizing PBP and maximizing ROI have been selected as objective functions.

Can cold energy storage and electrical energy storage systems be integrated?

This work evaluates the techno-economic feasibility of integrating the cold energy storage system and the electrical energy storage system in a refrigerated warehouse for shifting the power consumption. A dynamic model has been developed in TRNSYS®.

What is the maximum capacity of energy storage system?

For the energy storage systems, the maximum capacity corresponds to the capacity that can shift all the energy demand during the high electricity period, which is between 7 AM and 11 PM.
