The energy storage market will be worth $50 billion within the next five years, according to the research firm Lux Research. As you would expect, this growth is giving rise to new players. There are many companies in the energy storage chain, but one of them is definitely way ahead of the pack: ARAN[..]

Have you ever wondered why companies store just about everything else apart from electricity? Due to periodic supply and demand imbalances, they store foodstuffs, water, fuel and so on. For electricity, many companies opt to oversize the infrastructure. Is this really the right choice? Nowadays, ple[..]

There is no argument about the advantages of chilled water systems in large commercial facilities. A chilled water refrigeration system offers many advantages, mainly in terms of energy efficiency and ease of maintenance. You can magnify these advantages for your facility by ensuring proper and cons[..]

What are the on-peak cooling costs in your area? They are probably several times the off-peak rates. Using the widely accepted Thermal Energy Storage technology can easily reduce your cooling costs and you’re still going to get the desired results. It is evident that people are picking up on this —e[..]

Industrial gas turbines tend to work in high ambient temperatures, which can get even higher during on-peak power demand periods. This can be a big deal when aiming at power augmentation, especially in hot climate areas such as the Middle East. This is why Thermal Storage Systems are standing out as[..]

Thermal Energy Storage is a technology commonly used in District Energy Systems due to its multiple benefits. The main benefit is the reduction of the District Energy Plant, as the capacity of the plant will be selected as per the average demand, not as per the peak demand. Another advantage is the [..]

The world is facing two headaches in regards to energy development: new sources of energy and innovation of affordable and efficient energy storage systems. Energy wastage is a chief concern and the solutions provided by stratified thermal energy storage systems give a massive boost to cost saving m[..]

In stratified Thermal Energy Storage (TES) tanks, the thermocline refers to the transition or mixing layer that forms between the warmer surface water and colder water that occurs deeper. Thermocline layers occur naturally, separating the water by temperature and density. A thermocline layer is char[..]

Containerized turbines are a cost-effective, expedient way to install quality equipment. These turbines are ready to go on delivery, including all mechanical, electrical, and control components. These units are compact and easily serviced making them ideal for many applications, both temporary and p[..]
