Summary

Comparison of the field performance of TES systems with the "simulated field performance" of conventional systems. States that field data for TES sites, provided by the Electric Power Research Institute were analysed using a "mean-day" and "peak-day" approach. Notes how parameters were developed that allow a meaningful and comprehensive performance comparison of TES and conventional systems. Energy use (kilowatt/ton), as well as the direct power costs of ice, chilled water and eutectic salt systems were compared to that for conventional systems. This shows that the field performance of TES systems is better than expected.
