Smart grid technology is predicted to transform energy usage and optimize energy delivery, but it will require demand response capability to reach its full potential. Thermal energy storage (TES) is a proven technology that can meet this need by reducing power consumption during times of peak cooling load. This seminar explores how energy storage and the smart grid will be interlinked and why thermal energy storage should play a prominent role in the power grid of the future.
