Cold storage: a key flexibility and energy efficiency.

Number: pap. 065

Author(s) : DUHOT G.

Summary

Energy needs are constantly increasing, particularly in France where the annual electricity consumption, due to cold production, exceeds 15 TWh. Moreover, the energy crisis requires significant investment, which is difficult in times of economic crisis.It is possible to limit these investments by peak shaving and demand response by shifting consumption from peak hours to off-peak hours.EDF is developing a software to calculate the energy saving and financial interest of cold storage units. This software is based on the law of physical of energy conservation of refrigerator and storage (sensible and latent). It can be used to optimize the facilities size and operation strategy satisfying a given daily cooling capacity curve, with respect to the objective of savings. The purpose of this tool is to promote cold storage units in France; it will allow industry to have an objective tool for comparing different technologies, and to observe quickly the interest offered by the establishment of storage.
