ASHRAE Design Guide for Cool Thermal Storage Second Edition 2019
ASHRAE Design Guide for Cool Thermal Storage Second Edition 2019 is a valuable first-level reference that discusses fundamentals, compares technologies, and describes a rational procedure for designing systems. This guide covers neither the storage of energy for heating applications nor passive storage of heat in the building structure.ASHRAE commissioned the revision of design guide in response to the need for a current, comprehensive cool thermal energy storage reference manual. This document assists engineers and owners in evaluating cool thermal energy storage for specific applications, selecting the appropriate cool thermal energy storage technology for a given application, and designing successful cool thermal energy storage systems for nonindustrial buildings.

Cooling demand contributes a sizable portion of the summer electricity demand in many parts of the world. Unlike other building electric uses, cooling incurs a peak demand during only a few days or weeks each year. Electric utilities recognize the ability of cool thermal energy storage to favorably shape electric loads as part of a portfolio of demand response options. Some utilities offer incentive programs and special rate structures that encourage cool thermal energy storage usage. The need for and value of storage for the electric grid and microgrids has grown dramatically with the increased use of intermittent renewable energy resources such as wind and solar power. Cool thermal energy storage is a proven technology that has been increasingly used since the 1980s.
Designers, owners, and utilities continue to express strong interest in the use of cool thermal energy storage to reduce energy costs and the strain on the electric grid; avoid building additional generating and transmission equipment; provide increased redundancy, reliability, and resiliency; and, in select applications, reduce capital cost.
