| Summary: | Building Sector is the major electricity consumer
and its costly to building owners. Therefore the application of
thermal energy storage (TES) has gained popularity to reduce
energy cost. Many attractive tariff packages are being offered
by the electricity provider to promote TES. The tariff packages
offered higher cost of electricity during peak period and lower
cost of electricity during off peak period. This paper presented
the opportunity to implement a centralized air-conditioning
plant integrated with thermal energy storage with partial
operation strategies. Building load profile will be calculated
hourly according to building specification and building usage
trend. TES operation conditions will be designed according to
building load demand profile, storage capacity, tariff packages
and peak/off peak period. There is an opportunity of energy
cost reduction when TES’s chillier is in operation during off
peak period. In conclusion, there are opportunities of energy
cost reduction by partially operation of centralized airconditioning
plant integrated with thermal energy storage. |
