“…In [17] the combined use of cogeneration and electric heat pumps are studied, being the system tested under a real-time pricing demand response programs in [18]. In [19] the joint optimization of gas and electricity devices (loads and generators) is studied, and in [20] a more general overview concerning the importance of the natural gas in the smart grids is specified. In all these studies, the conclusion is that the flexible dual fuel loads, like the cogeneration based in natural gas combined with controllable electric heat pumps, can support the operation of the future smart grids based on renewable, non-dispatchable, and intermittent generation sources.…”

“…The 17 micro-CHPs have an electric capacity of 1kW and provide heat for both base and peak load heating. The micro-CHPs and heat pumps are connected each to a 230 litre thermal storage tank, which allows the heating devices to be turned on or off independently of the immediate heat demand of the household, thus providing flexibility to the smart grid [5].…”

Abstract-Whereas other smart grid field trials optimize for a single objective, PowerMatching City phase 2 demonstrates that multiple objectives can be achieved in a coordinated virtual power plant. A system that incorporates both consumer community proposition incentives and trade dispatch incentives (as well as end-user comfort) was designed, implemented and tested. This paper describes the design approach and the main findings in this real life field trial. The multi-goal approach showed to be successful, as the individual goals were achievable by the cluster. To prevent a single goal from overpowering the other objective limitations and a flexibility-balancing component were implemented. Finding the optimal mix of balancing the components and utilizing the most of the flexibility requires additional research.
