Energy storage air conditioner performance test

What is a thermal energy storage air-conditioning system?

Building envelope composition and heat transfer coefficient. This thermal energy storage air-conditioning system is mainly composed of an air source heat pump (ASHP), an energy storage tank, a circulating water pump, an air handle unit (AHU), and a variable air volume box (VAV box), fan coils and control system.

What is an Enn model for a thermal energy storage air-conditioning system?

An ENN model is developed for a thermal energy storage air-conditioning system. Both load forecasting and TES prediction is established. A demand response is implemented by field test based on the ENN model. Maximum energy reduction without comprising occupants comfort level is achieved.

Does energy storage play a role in HVAC demand response?

In response to HVAC demand response event, TES plays the role of active energy storage. The above-mentioned common demand response strategies are still widely adopted. Cui et al. (Cui et al., 2015) found that indoor comfort could be controlled in different indoor temperatures reset strategies by adding a small energy storage device to a DR event.

Is Elman-NN a good prediction model for thermal energy storage air-conditioning?

As shown in Fig 4 (b), the Elman-NN prediction model performs equally well in load forecasting for the next day with R2 of 0.790. The above results prove the superiority of the Elman-NN algorithm, especially for this thermal energy storage air-conditioning system. 2.2.3. Optimization of load forecasting model

Can Elman neural network be used in thermal energy storage air-conditioning system?

The proposed demand response strategy can be seen as type three differed with respect to with and without the Elman neural network. This study successfully implemented the Elman neural network in a thermal energy storage air-conditioning system through field test.

Can a PCM heat exchanger improve AC performance?

Integrating PCM-based TES with AC systems has been shown to boost AC system performance, as revealed in previous research. As far as the authors found, only few works have investigated that the direct connection of the PCM heat exchanger to the AC condenser could improve the performance of the AC.
