An assessment of thermal energy storage in conjunction with heat pumps for residential heating and cooling

Michael B. Packer and Leon R. Glicksman

Energy, 1979, vol. 4, issue 3, 393-399

Abstract: The potential of thermal energy storage together with heat pumps to lower peak daytime residential electrical consumption and exploit off-peak rate reductions is examined. A computer simulation using New York City weather demonstrates that this approach, although technically successful, is economically infeasible for the foreseeable future.
