Refrigeration is one of the main factors in the increase of energy consumption and grid load in cold store, which is used to maintain a stable and appropriate ambient temperature for fresh foods, drugs, and other items. About 60 %–70 % of energy consumption in cold store facilities comes from the refrigeration system .
Cold storage facilities demand large, energy-intensive equipment, leading to significant operational costs within the industry. To put this into perspective, a standard refrigerator warehouse alone can consume up to 25 kWh of energy per square foot annually.
To put this into perspective, a standard refrigerator warehouse alone can consume up to 25 kWh of energy per square foot annually. Given their energy intensity, the cold storage industry, as a whole, can rack up to well over $30 billion each year in energy costs.
The integration of cold thermal energy storage with a solar refrigeration system (SRS) will be the next-generation alternative for battery-based backup, which has the potential to run the system at low cost and net-zero carbon emission-based F&V storage. CTES is classified into latent and sensible heat-based energy storage.
The primary energy source for refrigeration technology is electricity, and it's utilized to remove warmer air from inside the unit, ensuring a cool temperature is maintained within.
Integrating CTESS with solar refrigeration system shall reduce significant savings. Hybrid energy systems can be beneficial due to intermittent nature of solar energy. There is a strong demand for food and energy security to attain sustainable development in developing countries.
