  When discussing thermal storage cooling technology, one common misconception is that ice thermal storage systems are only valuable in regions with peak–off-peak electricity price differences. While time-of-use pricing can indeed amplify economic benefits, it is far from being the only condition that determines whether an  ice storage system  is suitable. In reality, ice storage offers multi-dimensional value—load management, space optimization, emergency cooling, and green energy integration—that makes it beneficial even in regions without significant electricity price gaps. Electricity Price Differences: A Benefit, Not a Requirement In areas with time-of-use electricity tariffs, ice storage reduces operating costs by producing ice at night and releasing cooling during daytime peaks. This cuts peak demand, lowers electricity bills, and reduces chiller operation during the most expensive hours. However, the true value of an ice storage system lies in its ability to store...
