Effects of heat pump scheduling on low‐voltage grids using a receding horizon control strategy

Heat pumps (HPs) are a promising option for decarbonizing the residential heating sector. Their use leads to an increased demand electricity, which can burden grid in uncontrolled operation, while controlled HPs provide additional flexibility system. In this paper, integration of through receding horizon approach into power market model is presented study behavior considering electricity prices and network constraints low-voltage grid. case with centralized self-consumption optimized control strategies, effects analyzed. Furthermore, authors investigate how aggregation several households energy communities affects The results show that considered grid, usually uncritical strictly cost-minimizing operation often possible from perspective. Typically, critical situations occur only at times high PV feed-in low HP flexibility. formation compared individual differs primarily allocation cost savings consumers. difference impact two strategies on negligible case.
