Cooperative Optimal Operation Strategy of Household Electric Heating

Abstract

Heating system is an important part of home life. Electrical heating system replaces the cogeneration heating system for the reason of new requirements for environment protection and new energy to be grid-connected. Although many old coal-fired boilers are replaced by electric boilers, but there are still many difficulties for all residents to use the centralized heating system. For those areas that do not have the conditions for deployment of central heating system, residents there can only use their household heating system. This paper will present and discuss a smart home heating model with consideration of the random fluctuating temperature in Xinjiang. The proposed model could control the peak load, improve the user's temperature effect and reduce the running electricity cost as well. Finally, the simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed cooperative optimal operation model.
