  • Abstract
    This paper presents a demand response scheme for waterbeds that can be implemented with currently available infrastructure. It balances the requirements of saving energy and shifting power to times with higher power availability by scheduling heating phases such that costs according to an electricity exchange´s virtual electricity tariff are minimized. The approach was successfully validated with a real waterbed under real conditions.
