Abstract
The Community Annual Energy Storage System (CASES) is described as a thermal utility concept which stores waste summer heat for winter use and waste winter cold for summer air conditioning. As a concept, CASES can be demonstrated only by simulation, although the equipment is available. Both warm and cooled water are available continuously for each building in the community through a network of two pipes. Short-term storage for surplus hot and cold water is provided with a central facility consisting of two impoundment basins of the same size. Either aquifer or ice storage can be used for long-term storage. The system's components consist of uninsulated pipelines and individual heat pumps, which would be rented to the building occupants. CASES proponents project an 80% saving of the energy used for heating and cooling a community and a significant leveling of peak loads. A summary of monthly cost projections and efficiency shows the greatest savings will occur during the summer months.
