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

电力公司正在开发许多技术，以提高工业和住宅环境的能源效率。通过高速互联网网络，客户和公用事业公司通过agrid（在行业中称为智能电网）互连，提供了一个以更优化的方式监控客户端和输送（和接收）能源的机会。重要的是，电力公司认为这是一个实现政府减少温室气体排放目标的机会。智能电网技术的一个途径是在非高峰时间向客户输送能源，能源储存在现场，然后在高峰时间输送。大规模地实现这一点可以使公用事业以更有效的方式发电。有许多技术正在开发中的非高峰交付和一个正在考虑的是电辐射加热结合热存储和释放。目前的建议调查这项技术相对于传统的技术，不适合智能电网连接。其目的是建立一个可行的替代传统的加热技术，因此是一个有前途的技术，为智能电网的辐射与热存储和释放相结合。

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.
