Nostromo Energy has confirmed its IceBrick thermal energy storage system will be deployed at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Three IceBrick systems with a total capacity of 2,200 Ton-refrigeration-hours will be installed in three concourses.
The systems will help reduce peak loads and operating costs by shifting demand for cooling power to hours of low pricing or consumption, and add backup cooling capacity to the main plant, enabling it to operate more efficiently and reliably.
The project is scheduled to be completed this year.
Nostromo Energy VP of US commercial operations, Doug Poffinbarger, said the company is proud to see its technology supporting one of the world’s busiest airports.
“The large cooling loads of airports, especially in the south, make them ideal candidates for deploying thermal energy storage, which boosts their resilience and efficiency, and now in many more locations with the compact and modular IceBrick solution,” he said.
The IceBrick technology is a new generation of behind-the-meter energy storage that is 100% safe, 100% USA made, and scalable to meet any cooling load that relies on chilled-water.
Using IceBrick storage during peak hours or other times when the grid is constrained, will save costs to the host operator, create more cooling capacity when demand is high and offer backup during equipment failure.
It also helps the grid manage peak loads and defer infrastructure upgrade, making power more reliable and affordable to consumers.
Nostromo Energy's IceBrick fully-integrated thermal energy storage solution is redefining demand management for data centres and commercial buildings, unlocking capacity, providing energy cost savings, demand flexibility and resilience.
