Modeling of Thermal Storage Systems in MILP Distributed Energy Resource Models
David Steen,David Steen,Michael Stadler,Gonçalo Cardoso,Gonçalo Cardoso,Markus Groissböck,Nicholas DeForest,Chris Marnay +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new DER-CAM TES model is presented that allows improved tracking of losses based on ambient and storage temperatures, and compares results with the previous version, which overestimates the attractiveness of TES investments for cases without possibility to invest in heat pumps and underestimates it for some locations when heat pumps are allowed.
