In this article the potential of cost optimization for electrical floor heating systems is studied. Model Predictive Control (MPC) based optimization method is used to optimize energy costs of electric floor heating while taking into account user set temperature restrictions (comfort levels) and dynamic day ahead electricity spot prices. The aim of this paper is to find what effect does MPC opt...
