Smart neighboring heat supply based on ground heat pumps

The proposed projects is to develop and demonstrate the concept of ‘neighboring heating’ (i.e. heat supply to a cluster of 10-20 individual houses from a central plant) based on smart control of a heat pump in a combination with a hot water storage. where the possibilities of ‘tapping’ cheap electricity from the grid in periods with low electricity demand or/and high wind produc-tion are analyzed and demonstrated.
