The electrification of heat - opportunities and challenges for vapour compression heat pumps.
Number: 1222
Author(s) : HEWITT N., NAIR A., OGUNRIN S., WILSON C., VORUSHYLO I.
Summary
A possibility for decarbonisation in the UK is the electrification of heating through vapour compression heat pumps. However, it is becoming recognised that the electrical demand especially at peak times will exceed our electricity distribution network capacities. This will be especially challenging when combined with a parallel electrification of transport policy. This paper will explore global best practice in the management of heat pumps and their integration with energy storage and explore alternative thinking through technology coupling to mitigate local electricity network challenges. The impacts of thermal storage, electricity storage (fixed battery and electric vehicle) and hybrid heat pumps (ultimately operating of net-zero carbon gas) supported in building integrated or local renewable energy will be examined, along with the impacts of future low temperature heat networks and building fabric improvements.
