distributed energy storage
intelligent demand/load management
renewable portfolio resource integration
Life, as we know it today, depends on electricity: our economy, our national security, our health, our comfort, and considering that electric generation is the largest contributor to our nation’s green house gas emissions, the health of our environment as well.
As our dependence on electricity continues to grow, our demand is quickly outpacing our ability to supply it. As a result, electric utilities are now faced with daunting challenges: peak demand growth, rising energy costs, rising fuel prices, overstressed and aging infrastructure, stringent environmental standards, and mandated integration of renewable generation.
Ice Energy offers the industry a unique, cost effective and scaleable solution that directly addresses the core problem, not just its symptoms; allowing utilities to intelligently manage the thermally driven peak load profile through effectively lossless distributed energy storage, two-way controlled assets, and permanent peak load shifting as a renewable portfolio resource.
Distributed Energy Storage
Not all kilowatts are created equal. A kilowatt-hour consumed at night, during off-peak hours, costs less to produce than one consumed on peak, and has less impact on the environment. Unfortunately, the electric industry has never had a cost effective solution for storage—until now.
Intelligent Demand/Load Management
Ice Energy provides a proven, easy to deploy, certified interoperable smart grid solution that dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for utilities of all types and sizes as it delivers real benefits from day one. This dispatchable, “set and forget” solution provides two-way, closed loop control of the storage devices, as individual or aggregated sets, as well as direct load control capabilities for other consumer assets.
Renewable Portfolio Resource Integration
Ice Energy is allowing utilities to more easily, affordably, and reliably meet their renewable energy goals.
Not only is the Ice Energy solution recognized as a renewable portfolio resource, but by storing off-peak energy for use during subsequent time of peak demand, the Ice Energy solution increases intermittent renewable availability on a more predictable basis, making them more valuable, useful, and efficient.
