A practical guide on how to plan, design, and construct sustainable thermal storage systems Sustainable Thermal Storage Systems: Planning, Design, and Operations Defines sustainable thermal storage Discusses the types of facilities that can benefit from thermal storage Outlines the various types of thermal storage systems available Presents the key requirements in thermal storage planning Includes thermal storage system sizing examples Contains performance metrics Explains how to conduct a feasibility study Features case studies that demonstrate real-world applications Use of thermal storage—also called thermal energy storage (TES)—can result in: reduced on-peak electric demand; reduced energy costs; smaller required chiller capacity to meet peak cooling demand; lower capital costs; lower life cycle costs; improved operational flexibility; less air pollution. This book covers all of these aspects. ...
