Re: [TRNSYS-users] Thermal Energy Storage readily available components ?

[David Bradley <bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Eleni,
 There are a few TES components in the free online library of TRNSYS 
components (including a phase-change material that can be 
incorporated into a building and an ice storage tank). Information 
and validation on the components in that library can be a bit spotty 
but it might be worth a look 
(http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/trnlib/library16.htm#thermalstorage)
Cheers,
 David
