Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Modeling and Design Cooperative Research and Development Final Report

Summary

This project addressed critical electric grid challenges by researching the thermal efficiency and load-shifting capabilities of HVAC systems. The approach involved assessing the performance of an innovative high-efficiency air conditioner integrated with a composite phase change material (PCM) through modeling and design. The research phase of the CRADA is completed, with prototype designs developed and fabricated, setting the stage for future characterization and potential pilot testing.
