Abstract: Cool-storage systems have the potential to reduce the overall cost of cooling for residential customers by shifting all or part of the electric load occurring during peak-demand periods to off-peak periods, thus lowering the total electrical bill where time-of-day (TOD) rates exist. The potential energy cost savings are substantial. In some U.S. locales (e.g., within the districts served by Oklahoma Gas and Electric, Arkansas Power and Light, and Wisconsin Electric Power), the difference between the peak and off-peak energy charges are >$0.100/kWh. This savings potential is the primary driving force for developing cool-storage systems for residential applications.
