The cold energy storage system is an active method of reducing the energy consumption of air conditioning systems. This method shifts the peak electricity consumption from peak hours (high load) to off-peak hours (low load). Materials used for cold energy storage are known as PCM.
The cold energy, generated from the produced condensate in cold storages, is utilized to cool the air and pre-cool the products. This paper investigates the energy, exergy, and economic performance of both the charge and discharge processes of the energy storage system, as well as the overall integrated system.
Cold thermal energy storage (CTES) is a technology that relies on storing thermal energy at a time of low demand for refrigeration and then using this energy at peak hours to help reduce the electricity consumption of the refrigeration system.
Economic assessments focus on investment, operation, and lifecycle costs. Cold storage technology is useful to alleviate the mismatch between the cold energy demand and supply. The integration of cold energy storage in cooling system is an effective approach to improve the system reliability and performance.
The combination of these three evaluations - energy, exergy, and economic - can help in designing and developing optimal cold energy storage systems. These evaluations not only improve the technical performance of the system but can also lead to long-term reductions in costs and energy consumption. Fig. 2.
The cold energy storage tank can help in reducing the consumption of chillers, because when the demand is low, the produced cold water is used as a tank charger, and when the demand is high, this system helps the chiller and water cools. The system used is the ice thermal storage type, which uses ice as a cold energy storage.
That's exactly what the Ouagadougou Power Grid Storage Project aims to achieve. As West Africa's largest energy storage initiative, it's like giving Burkina Faso's capital a giant rechargeable battery – one that could power 200,000 homes during peak demand.

Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg New York/San Francisco, May 30, 2024 – Long-duration energy storage, or LDES, is rapidly garnering interest worldwide as the day it will out-compete lithium-ion batteries in some markets approaches and as decarbonization plans become more ambitious.
Charging time, a pivotal property in lithium-ion batteries shapes their practicality and acceptance in applications demanding rapid energy replenishment. In the early stages of lithium-ion battery development, charging times were often a bottleneck, with extended durations impeding the widespread adoption of this technology.
This week, the Argentinian government opened bids for the AlmaGBA tender, initiated in February 2025 to procure 500 MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity for critical nodes in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) grid, enhancing reliability during peak demand.
The initiative aims to deploy 500 MW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the Greater Buenos Aires Area (GBA), but the submitted capacity has far exceeded expectations—reaching a combined 1,347 MW
In Argentina, the stance provides a good lesson to the European stakeholders, especially in the commercial and industrial segments of energy storage. Emerging markets can present both local and foreign players by developing tenders that are investment appropriate and clear technically and financially secured.
Argentina's ambitious push toward grid modernization through battery energy storage has received an enthusiastic response, with CAMMESA (Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico) confirming the submission of 27 project proposals from 15 companies under its AlmaGBA program.
This national and international open call, part of Resolution SE 67/2025, marks Argentina's first large-scale effort to integrate new electricity storage infrastructure into urban distribution networks.
Argentina's 1.3 GW battery storage tender marks a transformative leap toward grid resilience and clean energy leadership in Latin America.

Huawei Digital Power has successfully commissioned what it claims is Cambodia's first grid-forming battery energy storage system (BESS) certified by TÜV SÜD.
“The battery energy storage system will showcase how large-scale deployment of innovative technology applications can be used to operate Cambodia's grid in the future and generate more renewable power.”
The battery energy storage system supported by the project is capable of storing 16 megawatt-hours of electricity and providing services to help with renewable energy integration, transmission congestion relief, and balancing of supply and demand, among others.
“The Grid Reinforcement Project, along with ADB's ongoing assistance to Cambodia in power system planning, shows that adequate, reliable, and environmentally sustainable power supply can be provided at a reasonable cost to support equitable development,” said ADB Country Director for Cambodia Sunniya Durrani-Jamal.
Since 1994, ADB has awarded nearly $200 million in loans and grants to Cambodia's energy sector and provided $6 million in technical assistance. ADB funding has focused on expanding transmission and distribution networks and support for sector reforms and institutional capacity building.
The pilot battery energy storage project, located near the ADB-supported 100-megawatt (MW) National Solar Park, will come with on-the-job training. The government plans to increase solar photovoltaic generation capacity to 415 MW by 2022, up from 155 MW in 2019.
The project will help the Electricite du Cambodge, Cambodia's national electricity utility, strengthen its transmission infrastructure by financing the construction of four 115–230 kilovolt transmission lines and 10 substations in Phnom Penh and Kampong Chhang, Kamong Cham, and Takeo provinces.
