Distributed High Capacity Cold Storage in District Cooling Systems

چکیده
The demand for comfort cooling is increasing very quickly around the world, e.g. due to improved living standards. At present, air-conditioning is consuming large amounts of electricity, often during hours of peak power demand. Also, a major part of the electricity around the world is produced from fossil fuels, and thus the threat of global warming, caused by increasing emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, is one of the reasons why cooling supply systems must work more efficiently in the future. Cool thermal storage will play an important role in the development of energy effective and environmentally sound cooling production and distribution.

Determination of the Heat Storage Capacity of Pcm and Pcm-objects as a Function of Temperature
Phase change materials (PCM) are thermal storage materials with a high storage density for small temperature range applications. One such application is the storage of natural cold of the night to use during daytime, called “free cooling”. Very high energy efficiency can be reached as the cold has not to be generated. Those systems are especially interesting for lightweight buildings, which hea...
متن کاملHybrid Regenerating Codes for Distributed Storage Systems
Distributed storage systems are mainly justified due to their ability to store data reliably over some unreliable nodes such that the system can have long term durability. Recently, regenerating codes are proposed to make a balance between the repair bandwidth and the storage capacity per node. This is achieved through using the notion of network coding approach. In this paper, a new variation ...
