Odd as it may be, Canada has two of the largest Chilled Water (CHW) TES on university campuses. The drivers and benefits will be explored. The first example (from Alberta) had the two traditional TES drivers of reducing peak demand and energy cost and avoidance of a capital investment in chiller plant capacity. The second example (from Ontario) was driven by the Global Adjustment (GA) charge applicable to any large electrical user in Ontario and is based on the user’s contribution to the Ontario grid’s peak during the preceding year. TES deployment is predicted to be in a narrow window on summer afternoons, allowing an economical “pure retrofit” of TES.
