What is thermal energy storage in a district cooling system?

Thermal energy storage, in the context of district cooling, is the process of producing and storing cooling energy during periods of low demand. The stored cool energy is then discharged to meet cooling requirements during periods of high demand. Depending on the type of thermal energy storage technology, the cool storage medium can be in the form of chilled water, ice, or some other form of phase change media.
