ME 462/562: Sustainable Energy an Exergy Analysis Spring 2014 Thermal Energy Storage Mechanical Engineering ME462/562 Sustainable Energy: an Exergy Analysis Why thermal storage? Supply and demand for heat / cool not coincident
Thermal storage 2/12 Mechanical Engineering ME462/562 Sustainable Energy: an Exergy Analysis
Why thermal storage?
- Supply and demand for heat / cool not coincident
- Increase in capacity without bigger equipment
- Better operation of co-gen plants
- Dispatchability of solar thermal electric plants
- Shift energy purchase to low-cost period
- Increase system reliability
- Integration with other functions
