Europe has been paving the way to greater residential demand flexibility since 2018, and according to RAP’s recent survey, residential smart tariff offerings have increased by 250% since the energy crisis hit in 2022. Let’s look at how European… View Summary +
This week, China’s central government issued a national ‘Action Plan’ to promote heat pumps. The policy offers substantial support for heat pumps but leaves critical questions unanswered—particularly regarding the future of certain types of fossil fuel… View Summary +
Widely used in cooling, refrigeration and in heating buildings and water, heat pumps are a proven technology – and the most cost-effective one to decarbonise buildings. But to replace the fossil fuels that currently meet most global heating demand, the… View Summary +

在“双碳”目标的推动下，建筑供暖的电气化比例将显著提升，热泵的部署也将加速增长。热泵不仅能提供高效的供暖方式，还可以通过需求响应机制为电力系统提供灵活调节能力。对供热方而言，这有助于降低热泵运行成本，拓宽供热企业的收入渠道，从而提升热泵的市场竞争力。对供电方而言，这能保障电力系统的安全稳定运行、减轻电网扩容压力，降低供电成本，并促进可再生能源电力消纳。 本文探讨了大型热泵在中型区域供热系统（如小区、大型建筑）中的应用（业内称之为“分布式热泵”）。文章结合国内外案例，探讨如何挖掘电气化供暖的需求响应潜力，并提出优化电价机制、完善需求侧资源补偿机制、推广储热设备三项策略，以增强电网与供热系统的协同优化，实现保障电力系统稳定运行与减轻供热碳排放的双重目标。 本文缩略版首刊于《中国电力报》，2025年3月24日… View Summary +
In der kommende Jahren soll Deutschland seine Abhängigkeit von fossilem Gas stark reduzieren. Damit einher geht zwangsläufig ein schrittweiser Rückbau der Gasnetze, da sich diese ohne signifikante Belastungen der Verbraucher nicht mehr wirtschaftlich betreiben lassen. In einer Studie hat… View Summary +
