Abstract

This paper presents a domestic hot water heater model to be used in a demand side management program. Water heater loads are extracted from household load data, and then used do develop household water usage data. The model incorporates both the thermal losses and the water used to determine the temperature of the water in the tank. The model will be used in the future to develop intelligent control algorithms to increase power system efficiency and reliability.
