Overview – Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Sub- Program
Objectives: Increase utilization of local intermittent energy
sources, such as solar energy, for space and water heating in Canadian homes, buildings and communities.
Increase integration of advanced thermal energy storage in buildings for energy efficient space and water heating
Reduce significantly fossil fuel use for residential space and water heating by 75-100%
Tasks:A. Enabling tools for TES implementationB. Advanced TES materialsC. TES utilization case studiesD. TES technology field trial supportE. Update of weather design input datasets

Task E: Update of weather design input datasets Objectives Annual updates of satellite-derived gridded
solar irradiance data (hourly global on a horizontal surface and direct normal values) from State University of New York (SUNY)
Updated CWEEDS and CWEC files based on availability of updated satellite-derived solar irradiance gridded data sets, and improved MAC3 model for appropriate years and stations
Annual update of comparisons between in-situ, satellite- and NWP (numerical weather prediction)-derived solar data with recommendations for increasing utility of the NWP data for the energy sector.
Update and publish updated information products such as maps and detailed climatic summaries.

Progress and Achievements
A - Enabling Tools for TES Implementation Further development of in-house simulation tools
applicable for smart thermal grids investigation using: TRNSYS, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System
(ANFIS)
ANN and ANFIS methods can be used to:• Estimate the performance of complex energy
systems. • Develop applications for predictive
performance monitoring system, condition monitoring, fault detection and diagnosis of TES.

C- TES Utilization Case Studies:C.1) Implementation of Large Scale Solar BTES Seasonal Storage in Various Geographical Locations and in Retrofit Applications:
Whistle Bend Community-Yukon Detailed feasibility study completed
King’s Edgehill School-Nova Scotia feasibility study nearly complete
Progress and Achievements - Continued

C.2) Development and Testing of New System Components for Large Scale Solar Seasonal Storage System Applications in Canada – Overview:
Large area collector modules have been used to achieve significant cost reductions (hardware & installation) in large European systems (e.g. Dronniglund 165 €/m2).
Improved low temperature air handlers show promise of improved performance & reliability and reduced electricity consumption.
Wireless heat metering should allow lower operating costs for the utility and ease of capturing additional data
Progress and Achievements - Continued

Task C- TES Utilization Case Studies: C.2) Development and Testing of
New System Components for Large Scale Solar Seasonal Storage System Applications in Canada: Decision to replace outdoor
tracker approach with stationary-collector transient test method (in ISO and EN collector standards)
Equipment changes necessary to test large modules were identified and purchased
Batteries in all 52 DLSC heat meters replaced with AC power supplies suitable for wireless operation and to simplify future maintenance.
Initial wireless testing performed in Guelph.

Task C- TES Utilization Case Studies:C.3) Evaluation of Alternate Designs for Cost -Effective High-Solar Fraction Seasonal Storage Applications in Canada:
Optimization of a Low Temperature Solar District Heating System by Integrating Space and Domestic Hot Water Loads
Comparison of the case where DHW is provided by standalone SDHW as in Drake Landing versus when provided by solar district heating system
Solar "sterilization" of the DL.

Drake Landing 52 home Community Both approaches, standalone SDHW
and DHW provided by the SDH, offer similar cost/performance.

Task D - TES technology field trial support Drake Landing documentation has
been supplied to the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme Task 45 as a best practice seasonal storage project example. System documentation and data were
also provided in support of a simplified solar seasonal storage model development by the Spanish team
Task E - Update of weather design input datasets The full set of SUNY data from 1998 –
2013 has been updated with the latest version of the SUNY model.
Monthly files created using 2013 model were compared with observations - the results are show low overall GHI bias (0.35%).
