THE HIGH COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF COOL STORAGE IN NEW COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.

Author(s) : ROSENFELD A., LA MORINIERE D. de

Summary

THE CHEAPEST STRATEGY, PARTIAL STORAGE, DISPLACES TWO-THIRDS OF COOLING DEMAND AND CAN DISPLACE 3 GW EACH YEAR IN NEW US BUILDINGS. THE MORE EXPENSIVE STRATEGY OF FULL-DEMAND AVOIDANCE CAN SHIFT ANOTHER 2 GW. PARTIAL STORAGE USES A CHILLER, SIZED TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY. ON A SUMMER NIGHT, THE EXCESS CHILLER CAPACITY GOES TO STORING COOLTH, THEN THE NEXT AFTERNOON THIS COOLTH IS USED. DEMAND-LIMITED STORAGE MINIMIZES COST OF OPERATION BY INSTALLING A CHILLER, SIZED TO BE ABLE TO TURN OFF WHEN POWER IS MOST EXPENSIVE. BOTH CHILLER AND STORAGE MUST BE ABOUT 40% LARGER THAN WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR PARTIAL TA. FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF SOCIETY AND THE UTILITIES, FULL-PEAK AVOIDANCE WILL IN THE LONG RUN SAVEMONEY AND POWER PLANT.
