Intelligent Heating Systems in Households for Smart Grid Applications
conference paper
To realize smart grids, there is a need for flexible supply and demand of electricity. Conventional heating systems in the Netherlands are based on gas, but new innovative systems, such as heat pumps and micro-CHPs, consume or produce electricity. If the demand for heat and the production/consumption of electricity is decoupled by using a hot water buffer, these heating systems provide the flexibility needed in smart grids. Using ECNs PowerMatcher technology, this is being demonstrated in a field-test in the Netherlands within the European project INTEGRAL.
