Abstract

A literature review of the existing developments in smart grid technology is provided which identifies the need for further development in tools to simulate the end-use stage of the smart grids. A new modelling tool which captures the electrical, heat transfer, communication and software control elements of domestic smart grid systems is presented. Following a description of the operation of this tool, a case study into a “smart” domestic heating system which can respond in real time to grid pricing signals is presented. Results of the modelling of this system in the new simulation tool are reported.
