Underground Chilled Water Thermal Dam Model
Underwrite 100,000 m³ cavern water reservoirs excavated 1,000m underground storing 600 MWh-thermal of stratified 1°C chilled water (chilling during cheap off-peak grid hours and discharging during peak electricity spikes to eliminate $12M/yr in peak power demand charges). Model utility demand arbitrage savings ($185/kW-yr), and 20-yr IRR.
