| Abstract | This study presents a review of cool storage which is a
relatively new technology for building energy management. Such
systems have the potential to reduce the overall cost of cooling
for residential customers by shifting all or part of the electric
load occurring during peak- demand periods to off-peak periods,
thus lowering the total electric bill where time-of-day (TOD )
rates exist.
Thermal performance of a model scale chilled water storage,
installed with membrane anti-blending device , has also been
evaluated. The parameters chosen for performance evaluation were
thermal efficiency and figure of merit ( FOM ) . The thermal·
efficiency and figure of merit were found to be 71.4% and 61.9%
for this storage.
A simple model for a conventional chiller operation and a
rescheduled operation incorporating a chilled water storage to
avoid the low load operation at night has been developed. The
economic analysis of this rescheduled operation indicate that the
payback period for investment in chilled water storage system is
about 2 years. The internal rate of return (IRR ) i s estimated to
be 48.77%. |
