Review on performance of Thermal Energy Storage system at S & T Complex, UiTM Shah Alam, Selangor

This paper presents on the performance of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system at Complex Science and Technology, University Teknologi MARA Shah Alam Selangor. Various technical aspects and criteria for thermal energy storage systems and applications are discussed and energy saving techniques and environmental impacts of these systems are highlighted with illustrative examples. This study describes the result of the operation of the TES system. The data obtained were observed and analyzed to measure the cooling load demand capacity, electrical load, and building load profile of S & T Complex in certain duration. The results show that, the operation of TES is not fully utilized. The ice charging process does not constantly meet the nominal tank capacity of 10,800 RTh. Energy consumption is higher since the chiller has to top up the remaining cooling capacity during peak period. Also, in this paper the Building Energy Index of S & T is calculated as 201.48kWh/m²/year. In conclusion, data retrieve will be valuable assets as to forecast and predict the amount of energy use for future benefits.
