ASERCOM has released a statement addressing the role of heat pumps in stabilising electrical grids during emergency situations. This comes in response to ongoing efforts by the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and ENTSO-E to integrate heat pumps into future grid stability frameworks.
Driven by more and more renewable energy from PV and wind turbines, our electrical grids face increasing challenges to balance load and generation of electricity. Especially consumers which have some energy storage capacity are expected to contribute in future to grid stability. This can happen if loads with a storage capacity can be disconnected in times of a critical grid situation, when an overload of the grid is happening and a blackout is a realistic risk…
