Decentralized thermal storage of wind power for a higher wind energy penetration - (PPT)

摘要

Wind Co-generation: Using wind power to generate electricity and heat by using decentralized residential systems of storage & heat pumps; Heat pumps with floor heating - an efficient, well known heating technology with growing popularity; By installing in large number of homes - achieve a local, flexible, GW scale load that can follow the wind power; Possible to achieve very large wind penetration in areas with low load: In Niedersachsen - Can add 3500 MW more wind power; For private consumer: More expensive to install but cheaper operation costs & more efficient heating system; Reduction of fossil fuel usage - less dependency on fluctuating fuel prices.
