Seminar 27 -- Thermal Energy Storage: From Concept to Completion
This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.Thermal energy storage (TES) is a proven technology, historically providing benefits to system owners and utilities by shifting electric loads from peak to off-peak periods. In addition, integration of TES into the design of various mechanical systems can reduce cost, improve efficiency and reliability, and enable more effective operating strategies. This session provides an in-depth look at several supply and demand side applications of TES demonstrating these benefits. Design and modeling considerations are covered along with performance results of the installations. Case studies presented feature a range of technologies including chilled water storage, turbine inlet cooling, ice storage, and geoexchange systems. 27-1 Chilled Water Thermal Energy Storage: Case Studies
