The analysis of economic feasibility for adding a cool
storage facility to shift electric demand to off-peak hours for a
large industrial facility is presented. DOE-2 is used to generate
the necessary cooling load profiles for the analysis. The
aggregation of building information for predicting central plant
behavior at the site is discussed. The dollar benefits and costs for
the project are favorable, providing a payback in the
neighborhood of 4 to 5 years
