Abstract :
The use of thermal energy storage, or off-peak electric heating, to level the electric system load and improve the system load factor is described. A general introduction to the economic benefits of off-peak heating is given along with details of a heat storage furnace and controller designed for residential home heating on the Canadian Prairies.
