OVERVIEW
The Salt River Project (SRP) is a company dedicated to developing a sustainable future for our community by providing affordable water and power to more than 2 million households in central Arizona. As one of the major public electricity utilities in the United States, SRP is committed to fulfilling our customers' evolving requirements while promoting environmental responsibility. With peak loads during the summer months driven primarily by air conditioning demand, SRP intends to investigate novel options to cut power costs and improve energy efficiency.
Our group contributes to the mission at SRP by developing a thermal mass designed to store energy in the form of a cold mass. By cooling the mass during the day when solar energy production is high and dischargine the cold with air conditioning during the evening and night, energy costs are cut.
