Analysis of heat pumps potential in demand response programs for residential buildings in Belgium and their impact on grid flexibility with thermal comfort consideration

This study investigates the potential of heat pumps in demand response (DR) programs, to provide flexibility to power grids with a focus on residential buildings in Belgium. The research highlights the interplay between grid flexibility, energy efficiency, and thermal comfort, presenting a multi-dimensional analysis of sustainable practices within the residential sector through analytical simulations and analysis of (3) case studies of demonstration projects in this research domain. Through strategic heat pump management, the study explores pathways for enhancing energy efficiency without sign... Mehr ...
