For high-demand cooling applications, such as data centres, industrial facilities, and
hospitals, absolute cooling resilience is critical.
A 1MW water chiller running for one hour requires a significant power supply, typically
backed by large lithium-ion battery banks, adding substantial costs and complexity.
For O-Hx, we compared the cost and performance of 1MW of absolute cooling for one hour
using:
- Traditional 1MW water chiller + battery storage
- EnergiVault thermal energy storage (TES)
Our analysis shows that EnergiVault offers a far more cost-effective and efficient solution,
saving up to £940,000 compared to a traditional battery-backed chiller system.
