Unlocking the potential of thermal storage

Thermal batteries offer major cost and sustainability benefits over traditional batteries, but their operation is inherently more complex: they are charged by HVAC systems, governed by thermodynamics, and coupled to heating/cooling processes that must be managed.

ThermoShift uses advanced forecasting and optimization algorithms to model and optimize the operation of thermal systems in real time, maximizing value across:

> Electricity markets – shifting electricity use to low-price periods and providing grid services
> Equipment performance – maximizing HVAC system efficiency and durability (e.g. COP, short-cycling)
> Local self-consumption – maximizing the use of your solar production

Accelerating the adoption of thermal storage

50% of global energy goes to heating and cooling.
In many of these applications, thermal storage is a better alternative to traditional batteries:

> Lower cost with abundant materials and simpler designs
> No rare metals, limiting supply chain risks and mining impacts
> No cycling degradation, consistent performance over decades

ThermoShift's mission is to make thermal storage profitable by making its operation simple and grid-responsive.
