Off-peak energy storage for domestic applications in Christchurch, New Zealand

Applied Energy, 1993, vol. 44, issue 3, 259-281

Abstract: The suitability of off-peak electricity to meet the energy demands of domestic hot-water heating and space heating has been examined using simple computer models. It is concluded that the daily energy demand, both with respect to quantity and distribution, can be supplied satisfactorily if the appliances are sized and controlled adequately. However, the pay-back periods may be too long to give the necessary incentive to change to off-peak energy supply.
