An Efficient Water Flow Control Approach for Water Heaters in Direct Load Control
Tank water heaters (WHs) are present in a prevailing number of European households. Serving as energy buffers WHs have come under the spotlight of various direct load control (DLC) programs over the last few decades. Although DLC has proven to be an efficient measure towards daily peak demand shaving, the payback effect might lead to a new peak in the grid. This payback phenomenon takes place e...
متن کاملLoad Control Strategies for Electric Water Heaters with Thermal Stratification
This semester project investigates strategies aimed at controlling the aggregate power demand of large groups of domestic electric water heaters. An existing model of a single electric water heater that considers thermal stratification along the height of the hot water tank was tuned and verified using experimental data. The tuned model was then incorporated into an existing model of a water he...
متن کاملDistributed Energy Storage Using Residential Hot Water Heaters
This paper proposes and analyses a new demand response technique for renewable energy regulation using smart hot water heaters that forecast water consumption at an individual dwelling level. Distributed thermal energy storage has many advantages, including high overall efficiency, use of existing infrastructure and a distributed nature. In addition, the use of a smart thermostatic controller e...
متن کاملNew Approaches to Residential Direct Load Control in California
New direct load control programs are being rolled out by utilities across the country. Traditional one-way, single-mode switch technologies are being replaced by remotely adjustable thermostats and adaptive switch technologies that learn how customers’ air conditioners actually operate over time and then optimize load impacts during events. Adaptive switches are designed to reduce air condition...
متن کاملField Testing of Pre-Production Prototype Residential Heat Pump Water Heaters
The purpose of this Technology Installation Review is to provide an overview of the field testing of 18 pre-production prototype units of a “drop-in” type residential heat pump water heater installed in a wide variety of host home situations across the United States for more than one year. It provides descriptions of the construction, installation, control, instrumentation, and data acquisition...
