Abstract
ABSTRACT Thermal energy storage (TES) has a long history of use in shifting peak air-conditioning and other cooling loads from on-peak to off-peak periods. With a proper understanding and application of modern TES technology, TES offers even greater value to large cooling customers in the restructuring energy markets of today and tomorrow. The various TES technology options are briefly reviewed and their inherent pros and cons are discussed. Numerous examples are presented of TES installations and technology types currently serving large cooling applications. The areas of these applications include private industry, universities and colleges, hospital and medical facilities, other government facilities, and district cooling. TES is also realizing increasing application in the area of power generation, where it is used by utilities and on-site power generators for combustion turbine inlet cooling. Several case histories are reviewed to illustrate and quantify the demand management impact and economic benef...
