Off peak cooling using an ice storage system
… have been suggested as one load management device. This thesis investigates the impact of commercial cooling systems on the utilities supply picture and describes an off-peak cooling system which would enable a building operator to shift chiller operation to off-peak hours. The chillers draw …

Impact of Ice Storage on Electrical Energy Consumption in Large and Medium-sized Office Buildings in Different Climate Zones
… large portion of total electrical demand for office buildings during peak hours. Deteriorating load factors, increased use of more inefficient and polluting peaking units are the aftermaths of growth in peak demand challenging energy system efficiency and grid reliability. Ice storage technology …

The use of ice thermal storage with real time electricity pricing.
The thesis investigates the application of ice thermal storage technology to situations where the price of electricity varies continuously with instantaneous network demand. A central hypothesis is postulated in chapter 1, which states: "A variable electricity pricing structure, in which unit price …

Exploring the effects of single and dual phase culturing on the concentrations of Southern Ocean sea-ice algae and transporting living sea-ice algae from the Southern Ocean to land-based research facilities
Sea ice is a complex material with a significant impact on the global climate. Understanding the development of sea-ice properties based on the change in growth conditions is vital for the development of predictive models, which are key to providing forecasts of the influence global warming will …
