Cool storage technology can be used to significantly reduce energy costs by allowing energy-intensive, electrically driven cooling equipment to be predominantly oper-ated during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower. . While running computer servers accounts for the largest share of data center energy use, cooling systems come in second—but a new study by researchers at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), formerly known as NREL, offers a potential solution to reduce peak energy consumption. “The landscape. . Thermal energy storage (TES) technologies heat or cool a storage medium and, when needed, deliver the stored thermal energy to meet heating or cooling needs. Traditional cooling towers release waste heat into the atmosphere like expired coupons.
