Transient Heat Flow Simulations for Assessing the Performance of Radiant Panel Installations Under Concrete Building Floors

电力公用事业公司正在开发许多技术，以提高工业和住宅环境中的能源效率。通过高速互联网网络，客户和公用事业公司通过AGRID相互连接，这在行业中被称为智能电网，提供了以更优化的方式监控客户端和交付(和接收)能源的机会。重要的是，电力公司将此视为实现政府减少温室气体排放目标的机会。智能电网技术的一条途径是在非高峰时间向客户输送电能，这些电能在现场储存，然后在高峰时段输送。这一大规模实现使公用事业公司能够以更高效的方式发电。有许多非高峰输送技术正在开发中，其中一项正在考虑中的技术是电辐射供暖与储热和释放相结合。本提案研究的是这项技术与传统技术相比，传统技术不太适合智能电网连接。其目的是建立辐射电与储热和释放相结合的技术，作为传统供热技术的可行替代方案，从而成为智能电网的一项有前途的技术。

Numerous technologies are under development by electric utilities to improve energy efficiency in industrialand residential settings. With high-speed internet networking, customers and utilities are interconnected via agrid, termed in the industry Smart Grid, providing an opportunity to monitor clients and deliver (and receive)energy in a more optimal manner. Importantly electric utilities see this as an opportunity to meet governmentobjectives on reducing green-house gas emissions. One Smart Grid technology avenue is the delivery ofenergy at off peak times to customers, where it is stored on-site and then delivered during peak hours. Thisaccomplished at large scale allows utilities to generate power in a more efficient manner. There are numeroustechnologies under development for off peak delivery and one under consideration is electric radiant heatingcombined with thermal storage and release. The present proposal investigates this technology relative totraditional technologies that are not as amenable to Smart Grid connectivity. The intent is to establish radiantelectric combined with thermal storage and release as a viable alternative to traditional heating technologiesand therefore a promising technology for the Smart Grid.
