Abstract
Heat pumps are key technology for decarbonising the UK's building stock, but widespread deployment will have significant impacts on local electricity networks.
HeatNet aims to demonstrate how the coordination of heat pump operation using advanced optimisation algorithms can help address network operators challenges. Our aim is to develop an independent service offering to networks to accelerate the electrification of heat through new strategies that improve voltage quality and network reliability.
The project will develop novel machine learning tools to manage power loads from heat pumps and help regulate voltage-drops at the grid-edge while making sure our customers can keep warm.
