Bellingham Phase III, engineering and technology development for a hot-water district-heating system employing thermal-energy storage

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6045628
Evaluation is made of thermal energy storage in a district heating system which requires the integration of customer consumption rates, weather and other system operating conditions, as well as economic payback. Generic methods of approaching and evaluating these factors are essential to insure the most economical district heating projects are selected for development and that those systems are designed and operated in the most cost-effective manner. Also, governmental and legal guidelines for interfacing with users, financing, and municipal utility regulations are examined.
