Abstract
A challenge in Denmark in the near future is to balance the electrical grid due to a large increase in the renewable energy production mainly from wind turbines. In this work an aggregated control system using heat pumps in single family houses to help balancing the grid is investigated. The control system is able to adjust the consumptions of the heat pumps without affecting comfort in the houses and uses this ability to shift the total consumption to hours with high wind energy production.
