Abstract :
In this paper a control strategy for demand side management of electric storage water heaters is presented. The proposed algorithm reduces load variations, during any given optimization period, taken into account the base load. The algorithm uses the energy consumption model of the water heater as an input. The strategy can be applied to optimize present control strategies based on the existing ripple control technology, in order to improve the performance of the power system.
