Ice is a medium that can be stored as a form of energy for later use, such as in ice-based thermal energy storage systems. These thermal energy storage systems help reduce strain on the grid by addressing the main culprit of peak grid demand – air-conditioning – and can boost the utilization of renewable resources as much as 50%.
