Energy storage: the Parisian district cooling system.

Author(s) : DI CECCA A., BENASSIS F., POEUF P.

Summary

Thermal energy storage is an important contribution to the rational energy use and allows reducing the environmental footprint helping to comply with environmental constraints. Decoupling the energy use from the supply, cool storage systems integrated in district cooling allows significant reduction in installed cooling capacity. The energy storage together with an optimized management for cooling buildings also allows the use of electrical energy with the lowest carbon content during the night and at the lowest costs. The “central” district cooling of the city of Paris includes today 6 cross linked cool generation plants with a total cooling capacity of 215 MW, with an additional 140 MWh/day cooling generation capacity from different storage units installed on three sites. The cool storage systems coupled to the district cooling network in Paris optimise the plants operation and allow for more flexibility.
