SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Nostromo, the pioneer in encapsulated ice energy storage solutions, has announced today it's IceBrick™ TES (Thermal Energy Storage) cell. The IceBrick™ is designed to be the core element of the most cost-effective, behind-the-meter, storage system available and consists of plain water and a proprietary nucleate.
Each cell will be able to store and discharge an amount of energy which is equivalent to 25 kWh of electricity consumed by cooling systems at peak demand hours. Weighing only 1,000kg (2,200lbs) and measuring 50x50x400cm (20"x20"x157") the IceBrick™ is the first ever modular cell that can be installed on rooftops and along exterior walls, taking up minimal amounts of space. IceBrick's™ revolutionary design ensures the system has ZERO recycling issues, and with an expected cost of $250 per kWh, it reduces the cost per kWh by 80% when compared to the leading ice storage systems.
