# Add Chilled Water Storage Tank

## Description
This measure adds a chilled water storage tank to a chilled water loop for the purpose of thermal energy storage.

## Modeler Description
This measure adds a chilled water storage tank and links it to an existing chilled water loop. User can specify the operating season, charge period, discharge period, setpoint temperature and volume of the chilled water tank. If the volume is not provided, a sizing simulation will be run to autosize the tank.
