Description

The urge to reduce the dependence on natural gas for heating at the residential level has led to the deployment of different fossil fuel-free alternatives. In the Netherlands, heat pumps are the default solution for residents, but their power demand has proven challenging for network operators. Batteries have been studied as a solution, but recently, more technologies, such as photovoltaic-thermal modules and thermal storage, have been promoted to diversify the market. However, very few investigations have studied their suitability in addressing the congestion challenges caused by heating electrification or their economic feasibility for prosumers. This talk will elaborate on the role different technologies have for the prosumers when coupled together while providing insight for system operators regarding flexibility opportunities when aggregated.
