Abstract
ABSTRACT Some significant recent trends and developments in thermal energy storage (TES) are presented and discussed. In particular, an increasing number of large capacity applications are evident. Types of large applications include campus cooling networks and district cooling utility developments, where TES provides demand management for energy users, as well as turbine inlet cooling (TIC) applications for hot weather power enhancement of power plants for electric energy generators. Systems are often designed for lower than traditional supply temperatures, or dual-designed for initially conventional supply temperatures but also lower future temperatures with higher storage capacities. The energy efficiency of TES systems, both on-site at the energy user and at-source energy power plants, is explored. Economics are examined to document how large TES installations, when applied at times of either new facility construction or chiller plant capacity expansion/rehabilitation, often provide not only major ope...
