An International Comparison of Diurnal Thermal Storage System Performance: Lessons from Caddet
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper summarizes lessons from an international analysis of the characteristics and field performance of thermal energy storage systems for load management. These systems shift electricity consumed for heating or cooling from high price on-peak periods to lower price off-peak periods. Storage media and system descriptions are reviewed, including a simplified illustration of the economic principles.. New techniques for heat storage include improved methods to use and control building mass and advanced chemical storages. Cool storage technologies have undergone rapid development in the past decade, with improvements in new designs due to better understanding by designers and operators of the technology characteristics"
