I want to know, how to input data for thermal storage in EnergyPlus. What is the difference between Water Heaters and Thermal Storage on the class list of EP? And finally why on energy storage has only ice and water chillers??

i want to install any storage option on ep and i dont have any data for this. may i have to draw my loops first?

Please advise the "Plant Application Guide" located in the documentation folder of your E+ installation folder. The guide includes in it's second example a layout of both cold side and hot side thermal storage.

I note that the "Plant Application Guide" Example System 2 covers only a TES for the chilled water loop. Do you know of any other examples/example files where a TES has been used for hot water storage?
