The demand of cold energy has been increasing in the fields of space cooling, industrial process cooling, food preservation, cold chain transportation, etc. Energy demand for space cooling has more than tripled since 1990 [1].Space cooling is one of the major contributors to electricity consumption, especially in …
16 December 2020. Angela Wipperman. Access to efficient cold food storage is vital to sustainable food systems but climate change is causing unreliable harvests and affecting perishables. Innovations to keep food produce cool is essential if it''s to reach those who need it most, particularly in parts of the developing world.
The use of industrial cooling for food preservation has been revealed to be an efficient and widely employed technique, from harvest time to final consumption by the customer. However, the most used method to generate that cold (based on the compression refrigeration cycle) requires a considerable amount of electric energy, especially if no …

Cold and heat storage technologies are applied to distributed energy systems, which are widely used, to solve the abovementioned problems. However, the related work mostly focuses on a single case, which lacks a systematic arrangement and discussion. Therefore, this study first analyzes the current status of cold and heat storage materials.
Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time [1] to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential ...
