Promoting the Flexibility of Thermal Prosumers Equipped with Heat Pumps to Support Power Grid Management
2023
The increasing share of renewable energy sources in energy systems will lead to unpredictable moments of surplus/deficit in energy production. To address this issue, users with heat pumps can provide support to power grid operators through flexible unit operation achieved via Demand Response programs. For buildings connected to low-temperature heating networks with ensured third-party access, further room for flexibility can be explored by investigating the production of surplus heat that can be sold to the network. A key aspect lies in the identification of the energy pricing options that could encourage such flexible operation of a heat pump by “thermal prosumers”. To this aim…
Analysis of Electrical Loads and Strategies for Increasing Self-Consumption with BIPV Case study : Skarpnes Zero-Energy House
2017
Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2017 At Skarpnes village (Southern Norway), the houses as zero energy buildings (ZEB) are installed with Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems, and these houses are not containing smart control of equipments. The aim of such buildings is that the amount of electrical energy produced is the same as that consumed in the buildings on an annual basis. In this thesis, the main objective is to analyse the methods for increasing self -consumption in BIPV, by minimizing the cost of purchasing electricity from the grid at time with no PV production, and maximizing the utilization of solar PV generated power, which reduces the po…
Powietrze jako dolne źródło pompy ciepła
2016
W pracy przedstawiono wyniki analiz efektywności energetycznej wykorzystania do ogrzewania budynków jednorodzinnych oraz podgrzewania ciepłej wody użytkowej powietrznych pomp ciepła. Przedstawiono różne rozwiązania dolnych źródeł ciepła pompy wykorzystujących powietrze atmosferyczne lub powietrze z systemu wentylacji budynku. Dokonano również analizy okresu zwrotu inwestycji systemu ogrzewania z wykorzystaniem powietrznej pompy ciepła.
