Abstract: This study presents data-driven optimal control strategies of an ice-based thermal energy storage system in an existing office building. Firstly, a cooling demand prediction model for the cycle of 24 hours was developed. Based on calculated performance of the cooling system and the predicted cooling demand, optimal load shift strategies were proposed. The strategies are realized to achieve operational cost savings under three different cooling demand scenarios. It is shown that the accurate load prediction and optimal control strategies can save 8%-47% of the cooling system’s operational costs.
