Energy Management of a Chilled Water Plant Using Thermal Storage
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper illustrates a project implemented in a major IBM plant in Canada using a TES system integrated with other technologies to optimize the chilled water production. The implementation of the Novanergy system (thermal storage with phase change material) has given important peak load reductions as well as significant reduction in the energy consumption and in the environmental impact of the chilled water system operation. Natural Resource Canada and Hydro-Quebec have contributed in the project carried on by Groupe Enerstat Inc.

Development and Testing of Model Predictive Control for a Campus Chilled Water Plant with Thermal Storage
A Model Predictive Control (MPC) implementation was developed for a university campus chilled water plant. The plant includes three water-cooled chillers and a two million gallon chilled water storage tank. The tank is charged during the night to minimize on-peak electricity consumption and take advantage of the lower ambient wet bulb temperature. A detailed model of the chilled water plant and...
متن کاملPerformance 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...

In residential section, Studies have shown that, along with the use of various household consumption management techniques, the so-called hubs of energy can also be used to improve the performance and management of home energy management. In each electrical energy system, customers are aiming to minimize their energy costs. In this paper, it can be seen that in each home a home-made residential...
متن کاملAnalysis 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...
متن کاملModeling and optimization of a chiller plant
A data-driven approach is utilized to model a chiller plant that has four chillers, four cooling towers, and two chilled water storage tanks. The chillers have varying energy efficiency. Since the chiller plant model derived from data-driven approach is nonlinear and non-convex, it is not practical to solve it by using the traditional gradient-based optimization algorithm. A two-level intellige...
