A Flow Rate Dependent 1D Model for Thermally Stratified Hot-Water Energy Storage

Distributed Energy Storage Using Residential Hot Water Heaters

This paper proposes and analyses a new demand response technique for renewable energy regulation using smart hot water heaters that forecast water consumption at an individual dwelling level. Distributed thermal energy storage has many advantages, including high overall efficiency, use of existing infrastructure and a distributed nature. In addition, the use of a smart thermostatic controller e...

Turbulent Events and Gas-Side Mass Transfer Coefficients in a Wavy Air-Water Stratified Flow

Turbulence structure on the gas side of a wavy stratified flow was experimentally investigated in a near horizontal 18.7 cm (H) 10 cm (W) 5.5m (L) rectangular duct.By applying the Variable Interval Time Averaging (VITA) technique to the hot wire anemometer measurements frequency of occurrence of turbulent events were detected near the air-water interface. Experimental results showed that fr...

Performance Evaluation of A Stratified Chilled- Water Thermal Storage System

In countries with hot climates, air-conditioning forms a large proportion of annual peak electrical demand, requiring expansion of power plants to meet the peak demand, which goes unused most of the time. Use of well-designed cool storage can offset the peak demand to a large extent. In this study, an air conditioning system with naturally stratified storage tank was designed, constructed and t...

Analysis of Transfer Pumping Interfaces for Stratified Chilled Water Thermal Storage Systems—Part 1: Model Development

This paper describes methods for modeling the performance of transfer pumping interfaces used to connect open chilled water thermal energy storage tanks to closed chilled water systems. Indirect (heat exchanger) interfaces and direct interfaces are considered. Treatment of direct interfaces includes the use of energy recovery with centrifugal pumps serving as hydraulic turbines. Of the seven in...
