User Trials of an Adaptively Controlled Renewable Heating System

夏普欧洲实验室有限公司(SLE)开发了一种自适应控制的混合可再生住宅供暖和热水系统，可以100%满足家庭每年的空间供暖和热水需求。该系统的预计运营成本和碳强度非常低，旨在适合英国大部分住房存量的翻新。此外，该系统最大限度地减少了电网能源的使用，控制装置将负荷转移到非高峰时间。家庭供暖占英国碳排放的15%，这使得经济低碳家庭供暖的推出对于实现排放目标至关重要。市场对供热电气化、住宅光伏输出管理以及为消费者提供智能灵活的家庭能源管理系统的兴趣，为开发和试验该系统提供了背景。该项目是夏普欧洲实验室、Good Energy、热力地球和可再生能源安装商的合作项目，旨在对该系统在一系列家庭中的安装和使用性能进行现场测试。

Sharp Laboratories of Europe Ltd (SLE) has developed an adaptively controlled hybrid-renewable residential heating and hot water system that can provide 100% of a household’s annual space heating and hot water requirements. The system has very low predicted operating cost and carbon intensity and is designed to be suitable for retrofit to a large proportion of UK housing stock. In addition, the system minimises the use of grid energy and the controls shift load to off-peak times. Domestic heat accounts for 15% of the UK’s carbon emissions, making the rollout of economic low-carbon home heating essential to meet emissions targets. Market interest in electrification of heat, managing residential PV output, and providing consumers with smart flexible home energy management systems provides the context for developing and trialling this system. This project to field-test the installation and in-use performance of the system in a range of homes is a collaboration between Sharp Laboratories of Europe, Good Energy, Thermal Earth, and renewable installers.
