...ELSaeed Saad ELSihy; Chao Xu; Xiaoze Du Thermal energy storage (TES) using thermocline technology with phase change materials (PCM) is a promising technique for peak-shaving operation in cogeneration units. One of the disadvantages of this connotation is the use of the highly cost PCM capsules...

...O. A. Qureshi; P. R. Armstrong Efficient plant operation can be achieved by properly loading and sequencing available chillers to charge and discharge thermal energy storage (TES) reservoirs at optimal rates and times. TES charging sequences are often determined by heuristic rules that typically...
