Summary

A refrigerator is an essential appliance for both commercial and residential applications. Thermal (Cold) energy storage can effectively reduce the carbon emission from refrigerators. This preliminary study investigated the demand flexibility of a domestic refrigerator using thermal (cold) energy storage through dynamic modeling and controls. The models include both fresh and frozen compartments, a vapor compression cycle loop, and thermal storage panels. Results show that thermal energy storage can effectively achieve temperature control of the compartments within the 4-hour time window. The load reduction and cost savings (46.3%) were achieved through the TES using TOU rates.
