Chillers Operating Strategies of a Thermal Energy Storage System: Case Study of a Gas District Cooling Plant

Chillers could either be operated on continuous basis or only during selected hours of a day to generate required chilled water for the thermal energy storage (TES) system. The operating strategy depends on the design configuration of the system. The strategy was studied for a TES system of a gas di...
