Heating Pumps as an active tool in the energy supply system

Heating Pumps as an active tool in the energy supply system

 
Solution type: in Development phase

A control strategy for heating pumps to react to varying electricity prices

Funded by: ForskEL

The project will develop control strategy and demonstrate heating pumps (HP) to react to varying electricity prices and deliver regulating power in a flexible power system. It will also investigate several HPs organised in a Virtual Power Plant.
Further, the project will evaluate consequences for comfort, energy consumption COP, CO2 and economy. Measurements will be made on 20 HP installations.
