MN-00-16-2 — Contribution of Stratified Thermal Storage to Cost-Effective Trigeneration Project

Click here to purchase

The trigeneration plant for Expo ’98 in Lisbon, Portugal, provides electricity, heat, and refrigeration, three energy products, from the same energy source, i.e., gas-thus the term “trigeneration”-and incorporates a number of innovations, including a stratified chilled water thermal energy storage system, the largest to date in Europe. The entire project was completed on a fast-track basis, commissioned, and brought into operation long before the opening of the World Fair. The innovations contributed very substantial savings in both investment and operating costs; the stratified storage system was particularly important in achieving such reductions.
