Chilled Water Cooling Systems - Chilled water is produced during periods of off-peak electrical demand when rates are lower, collected in a Natgun TES tank, then withdrawn and distributed to the facility during peak demand periods. This process lowers energy costs by reducing power consumption, lowering the unit cost of electricity, and minimizing or eliminating utility demand charges.
Mission Critical Systems - To stay online 24/7, companies with mission-critical equipment install substantial back up electric services to support their facilities. Thermal energy storage can provide both day-to-day cooling and reserve cooling capacity for sustaining the facility in the event of power outages or unexpected chiller equipment downtime.
Turbine Inlet Cooling - Cooling of the inlet air to the compressor of a gas turbine system raises combustion turbine output in hot weather - exactly when most peaking power turbines are brought online. Fewer turbines are needed to generate a given capacity, thus minimizing a major portion of capital expenditures for a new installation or delaying upgrades in existing plants. Compared to inlet air temperature of 100° F, cooling turbine inlet air to 59° F increases output capacity by up to 27%.
