Summary

The cooling plant used for this evaluation consisted of one chiller for icemaking and chilled-water modes, an ice storage, an air-handling unit, a condenser, and all required fans and pumps. The plant model allows the selection of one of three ice storage systems as well as one of three compressor types. The performance of a selected cooling plant configuration can be assessed for three conventional control strategies (chiller-priority, constant-proportion, and storage-priority control) and compared to optimal control that achieves the theoretical maximum of operating costs savings. Optimal control is found using a dynamic programming based global search in the domain of on-peak and off-peak demands.
