Numerical study on the performance of ice-based thermal storage energy system.

Author(s) : LI Y., YANG C., WANG X., et al.

Summary

A model for ice-based thermal energy storage (TES) including optimal control has been developed and integrated within EnergyPlus for studying TES performance. The evaluation on merits of the combined optimal control of both passive building thermal capacitance and active thermal storage system is conducted by means of a parametric analysis. This analysis is achieved by the state-of-the-art simulation program EnergyPlus. Effects of building thermal properties, electrical utility rates, building location and climate, thermal comfort on the cost and energy performance of a public building are assessed. The findings reveal that the cooling-related on-peak electrical demand with optimal control can decrease the total energy cost greatly than chiller-priority strategy especially for the energy saving building.
