Abstract

A challenge in Denmark in the near future is
to balance the electrical grid due to a large increase in the
renewable energy production mainly from wind turbines. In
this work a central control system using heat pumps in single
family houses to help balancing the grid is investigated. The
central MPC controller optimises the hour by hour energy
consumption based on energy prices. A server based solution is
tested using inhabited single family houses showing ability to
move consumption with minor indoor temperature variations.
