Smart controls and thermal storage are solutions to increase grid flexibility and reduce energy use but its implementation requires careful planning and coordination. This becomes more challenging in a connected community, as most studies have focused on single building. The aggregation of cooling loads with a campus or connected community provides increased opportunities to achieve cost and energy savings. This session presents four energy conservation applications of optimized controls, with and without thermal storage, across multiple scales - from district cooling plants to residential HVAC. Using example case studies, cost-energy tradeoffs of the optimization scenarios are presented.

  1. Controlling Cool Thermal Energy Storage to Increase Grid Penetration of Renewables
    Amy Van Asselt, Ph.D., Associate Member, Lafayette College, Easton, PA
  2. Holistic Optimization Using Model-Based Approach for Central Chiller Plants in Connected Communities
    Mohammad Hassan Fathollahzadeh, Student Member, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO
  3. Optimizing the Location and Operation of Distributed Thermal Storage in a Diverse Connected Community
    Karl Heine, Student Member, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO
  4. Optimal Phase Change Temperature and Size to Minimize Residential HVAC Energy Cost and Peak Demand
    Navin Kumar, Ph.D., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN
