Icebank offpeak cooling systems

[Frank P. Newman]

For industrials the savings are due to a) the difference between on-peak and off-peak rates and b) the ability to shift load to the more cost-effective periods. For process industries that run 24/7, an increase in the size of some equipment may be required in order to overproduce during the off-peak times so they can under-produce at other times yet still maintain maximum output overall. As you can imagine, the economics of doing all that can be pretty complicated. Most industrial power contracts are based on 30 or 60 minute power demands, so short-term peaks generally don't have a major impact. However, I have also seen some contracts that billed the industry for their average demend set during the peak load period(s) for the utility.

I get crap whenever I get to the eighth digit, I thought I'd try to keep it simple, but NO!!!!
