ADVANCED DESIGN OF HEAT ACCUMULATION RESPONSIVE DEMAND CONTROL FOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT OF PROSUMERS

The paper is focused on advanced approaches to resistive adaptive demand response control into heat accumulation, implemented in installations with a small-scale power generating unit in order to provide real equilibrium between electricity generation and consumption. Current and novel power flow control strategies are compared with regards to 1) Power Quality (flicker, harmonics, etc.), 2) relevant energy measurement using standard revenue meters and 3) total cost of installation. Finally, topologies of power converters, which are suitable to development, are discussed and linked with experimental results.
