Technology
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) technology eliminates the dependency on instantaneous electricity for heating or cooling applications. TES is one of the clean technologies which supports and extends the use of other clean technologies such as solar, wind, Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE), electric vehicles etc. This means more control over the end use without relying on electric power for the purpose of heating and cooling from the grid or electric batteries or diesel generators.
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are one of the most effective mediums of thermal energy storage as they are highly cost effective, stable and environment friendly. PCMs have very wide scope of applications whether it is building construction, cold-chain transportation/storage, solar energy storage, temperature controlled packaging for food, pharmaceuticals etc.
Maintain desired temperature without the need for external source of energy at the time of operation
Shift peak power loads to off-peak power hours
Provide back-up
KEY Benefits:

Applications
Buildings- PCM for Heating/Cooling
Reduced over 30% energy consumption in HVAC projects.
Buildings form an integral part of our everyday life. Plusstainability to us is optimizing the demand and harnessing free energy in nature by efficiently capturing the free heat or cool energy thus reducing the need for cooling.
PASSIVE COOLING
PCMs also can be used to take advantage of the low temperatures in geographies with a large diurnal temperature difference. This energy can be stored into PCMs which can be used to reduce partial HVAC loads. This concept is known as free cooling.
DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT
HVAC constitutes about 70% of the total energy consumed in a building. Typically the peak electricity consumption in a building is reached during the month of July for a duration of 3 to 4 hours between noon to 4pm. Therefore, the electric utilities such as the transformers, diesel generator backups and the HVAC capacity is sized to take care of the peak demand which results in an oversizing of the capacities pushing the CAPEX by at least 25% only to meet the peak season. Thermal Energy Storage enables 50% reduction across electrical and HVAC capacities thus managing the demand smartly.
Food and Agri - Temperature controlled logistics and storage
• Enabled temperature-controlled environment for more than 3,000 tons of perishables.
• Increased over 10,000 farmers' livelihood by creating affordable technologies.
• Reduced 2,500 tons equivalent of CO2 emissions from refrigerated trucks since 2016.
We are proud of India's agrarian economy and Plusstainability to us is curbing food lost by empowering the society with clean and resource efficient cold-chain infrastructure.
AAGUN®
A portable 24/7 dryer that can offer consistent drying utilizing solar energy. The uniqueness of this dryer is that it does not require any external source of electricity nor a battery.
HimaCool™- SOLAR COLDROOM
A 5MT capacity coldroom that operates independent of grid connectivity. The Phase Change Materials based thermal battery continues to offer consistent temperature control during night hours during non-sun hours.
SEMI-ELECTRIC REEFER TRUCK
Conventional reefer trucks operate on diesel as the primary source of fuel and the refrigeration unit consumes 50% of the fuel. Thermal battery enables semi-electric reefer vehicles by decoupling the refrigeration unit from diesel engine. The electric refrigeration unit is plugged onto an electric source when the truck is docked. During this time the refrigeration unit charges/cools down the thermal batteries which caters to the cooling required during movement of the trucks.
