This document describes the development of Malaysia's first satellite remote chilled water storage system for district cooling. The system was built at Gas District Cooling's PJP4 plant in Putrajaya to store up to 100,000 tons of chilled water generated from the existing PJP2 plant during off-peak hours. The 45-meter diameter concrete tank, one of the largest in the world, helps meet peak cooling demand while reducing electrical imports and carbon emissions by 43% compared to operating electric chillers alone. Performance monitoring shows the stratified storage system operates as designed with a thin thermocline and high efficiency.

This is the outline of the presentation
This is the methodology during the development of Plant 4. Upon identifying the needs, we proceeded with the capacity planning study of the Core Island. We also did a hydraulic study on the pipe reticulation network to check the hydraulically remote location.
During the Option Study phase, we look at various generation technologies; Steam absorption chillers, direct fired chillers, electric centrifugal chillers, thermal storage and various combinations of these technologies. We also looked at the phasing of equipment in relation to the load growth & utilities price increase to arrive to the most optimal cost of ownership and generation unit cost.
We also looked at various tank configurations; cylindrical and rectangular as well as the materials to be used.
This is the aerial view of Putrajaya core island. Plot 4U2 is located mid-way of the core island; behind the Ministry of Youth and Sports building.
This is the chilled water reticulation network at Core Island. The main pipes are 900mm diameter (in blue) running from Plant 2 all the way to the Southern end.
PjP2, commissioned in 2003; designed primarily to serve Precinct 2, was extended to provide cooling to Precincts 3 and 4.
There is another plot reserved for future plant at the southern end Precinct 4
This is the load projections in 2009. The red line is the load projection based on original individual parcel’s schedule.
The historical load growth from 2003 to 2009 was averaging 3,650RT per year.
Taking into consideration PjP2’s equipment derating, the decision by GDC to construct PjP4 is timely; as the current load is about 25,000 - 26,000RT. GDC is now able to supply the load with sufficient capacity as buffer
This is a typical weekday cooling load profile of the Core Island in 2009. From 6 to 8 am, the maximum pull down load occurs. Between 6 – 7am much cooling is used to cool the water in the reticulation pipe from 18C down to 6C. The buildings start operation of the air side at about 7am. This load can be as high as 20% of the average load. From 10.30am to 5.30pm, the load is relatively constant. There is very little night load as these buildings are all government offices.
This is PjP2 available rated generating capacity. The electrical and direct fired chillers are mainly used for peaking loads; as they are more costly to operate. Electrical power generated by the GTs are used in-house and not exported.
This is the schematic of the system envisaged for PjP4. Charging of the tank is done at night. CHW at 6C from PjP2 is pumped into the tanks at PJP4.
In the ultimate phase, electric chillers at PjP4 can be used to cool the CHW further to 4.4C. This would increase the CHW storage capacity by another 30%.
In the discharging mode, both plants 2 and 4 inject CHW into the reticulation network simultaneously. PJP2 would serve loads at the northern part whilst PjP4 would supply to precincts 3 and 4 at the southern part.
PjP4 was planned as a hybrid plant consisting of chilled water storage and chillers. The construction of the plant shall be phased.
For Phase 1, we install 1 unit of chilled water storage tank of nominal rated capacity of 100,000 RTh with associated booster pumps
For Future Phases – additional 1 unit chilled water storage tank of nominal rated capacity of 100,000 RTh and/or installation of electric chillers depending on the load growth
This is the internal layout of PjP4. The dotted line indicates future plant area.
This is the pumps layout for Phase 1 and 2
Ultimately, PjP4 is envisioned to generate 42,000 RT from 30,000 RT from chilled water tanks and 12,000 RT from electric chillers.
This is an artist impression of the ultimate plant
These are the photo after the filling up of the tank. The contractor had to use a small boat to go around inside the tank.
The middle picture is the inside of the plant building. Currently, only booster pumps are installed with pipe headers ready for connection for future phases.
This is how charging of chilled water tank. Chilled water at 6C is pumped into the tank from the bottom diffuser.
Warm water at 12C is extracted out from tank from the top diffuser
It is very important that these water bodies do not get mixed up during this process. These chilled and warm water is separated by a layer of thermocline. To ensure proper formation of thermocline, the diffuser must be properly designed to ensure the water flow is laminar and no mixing takes place.
The water flows are reversed during discharging process. Warm water enters the tank from top diffuser and chilled water exits the tank from bottom diffuser.
The layer of thermocline moves up and down during the charging and discharging process.
This graph shows detailed equipment operation at PjP2. As can be seen, the chillers output is almost constant day and night at around 15,000RT. By flattening out the chillers output profile, the operation of gas turbine can be better managed as the steam consumption is constant night and day
Peaking morning pull down load is taken up by PjP4 without having to run additional chillers from PjP2. This has reduced the quantity of chillers required to meet the demand; hence, enhancing the reliability and availability of the overall system.
PjP4 is currently discharging about 40% of the peak period load demand. Currently, PjP2 is supplying about 15,000RT and PjP4 supplies averaging 10,000RT. PjP4 also reduces the TNB electricity import of PjP2 by 4MW. 4MW can be translated to about RM154,000 per month of maximum demand savings if we use C2 commercial Tariff at RM38.60/kW max demand.
If we compare the carbon emission of PjP4 current cooling output to a grid-connected conventional electrical chiller plant with the same output, there is a 43% reduction of CO2 emission.
This translates to approximately a reduction of 123,000 tons CO2 per annum
In summary, using district cooling and thermal storage are excellent tool for electricity demand side management. It helps in the reduction of energy cost by reducing the maximum demand charge during peak period.
Having this system, increase the load supply capability and enhance the reliability and availability of the system.
Thermal storage also improves the redundancy of the system as less equipment is required during peak period. Therefore, the owner can have standby equipment should any of the machine breaks down.
