Water-cooled Energy Storage Systems
Explore the role and efficiency of water-cooled storage systems in renewable energy integration for better energy use.
A Thermal Energy Storage system has a wide array of uses, whether you need to cut down on peak electricity costs, fit a stratified tank into your current design, or if you want to incorporate it with gas turbines or District Cooling.
Although the concept of stratified chilled water Thermal Energy Storage might be new to you, it's been used successfully in thousands of applications and cooling systems over the past thirty years. Thermal Energy Storage tanks are specially insulated to prevent heat gain and are used as reservoirs in chilled water district cooling systems.
TES tanks can be designed and built to the exact cooling requirements of each project in sizes from 50,000 gallons to 10 million gallons. Thermal efficiency is the net cooling available for distribution after chilled water has been stored in the thermal energy storage tank.
During that time, chilled water is collected and stored in a thermal energy storage tank. Then, during peak rate times, the cooler water is integrated into the cooling system to provide greater efficiency and reduce overall costs. Warm and chilled water enters and exits the tank through diffusers located at the top and bottom of the tank.
