New PCM makes it easier to store green energy, reduces energy bills
「冰山計畫」助企業節能友達一年省40%電費
Following new regulations that require energy-heavy industries to increase their investment in green energy, engineers have developed a revolutionary energy storage technology. They claim it will massively reduce energy usage and lower Taiwan's carbon footprint. The "iceberg project" helps store green energy produced at night, so it can be used at peak times during the day, making green energy more flexible AND reducing energy bills. It relies on a PCM, or phase-change material, that can freeze water at 8 degrees Celsius. Let's take a look.
政府提倡綠能產業，規範用電大戶必須用一定比例的綠能，因此有業者研發獨家技術，將8度C的水快速結冰，利用水的三態轉換，快速降溫，不僅節能、省電費，還能減碳。而面板大廠友達，實測一年後，估計省下了40%的電費。
