Abstract
Chilled water thermal storage systems can
reduce the electrical demand charge during the onpeak
months. However, operational problems such as
the inability to fully charge the system or premature
discharge of the stored cooling capacity can be
costly, which can result in turning on chillers during
on-peak hours in order to provide cooling to the
buildings. In this paper the optimization of a thermal
storage system operation through Continuous
CommissioningSM is presented. Detailed building
and chilled water loop commissioning activities are
discussed.
