报告称，在过去几年中，研究报告显示，在减少峰值瞬时电能需求的同时，一些现有冰基蓄热系统显著增加了年总能耗。因此，人们担心，各电力供应公司为减少高峰电力需求而提供的激励措施实际上会增加发电需求，并导致自然资源浪费和环境污染加剧。使用从具有至少两年运行经验的建筑物中收集的数据，证明当设计师充分利用冰的技术特征时，可以避免这些研究所认识到的负面影响- 基于热力系统。关键词:储能，冰蓄能，美国，电力消耗，设计，环境。引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1994年，第100卷，第一部分

Reports that in the last few years, studies have reported that, while reducing on-peak instantaneous demand for electrical energy, some existing ice-based thermal storage systems significantly increase overall annual energy consumption. It is thus feared that incentives offered by various electricity supply companies to reduce on-peak demand for electricity will actually increase electrical generating requirements, and lead to a waste of natural resources and increased environmental pollution. Uses data collected from buildings that have at least two years of operating experience to demonstrate that the negative impacts recognised by these studies can be avoided when designers take full advantage of the technological features of the ice-based thermal system.KEYWORDS: Energy storage, ice storage, USA, electricity consumption, designing, environment.
