An electric/natural gas/thermal storage hybrid as an alternative to engine-driven chillers.

Author(s) : SILVETTI B.

Summary

A hybrid combination of electric chiller, engine-generator and thermal storage is examined as a means of providing the demand avoidance of purely all-electric systems while taking advantage of the most attractive electric energy costs. A number of practical benefits, such as minimized engine run times and reduced vulnerability to engine systems failure, are featured.
