The thermal energy storage (TES) technology is an effective method to enhance the planning and the economy of the combined heat and power (CHP) plants, while it has still not been broadly promoted in China. In this paper we firstly establish a mathematical model for a Chinese CHP plant with TES. Then the EnergyPRO software is used to find the optimum type of the TES tank in a three-tariff electricity pricing market and the operation strategy of the CHP plant with the selected TES tank is studied. Thirdly, the economic benefits of the system with/without TES is evaluated. The results show that adding a TES tank with volume of 24000m3 can significantly increase operational profits of the CHP system and reduce the use of peak-shaving heat source.
