Laboratory and field testing of a residential heat pump retrofit for a DC solar nanogrid
Aaron H. P. Farha, Jonathan P. Ore, Elias N. Pergantis +3
Residential buildings are increasingly integrating large devices that run natively on direct current (DC), such as solar photovoltaics, electric vehicles, stationary batteries, and…
Model predictive control lowers barriers to adoption of heat-pump water heaters: A field study
Levi D. Reyes Premer, Elias N. Pergantis, Leo Semmelmann +2
Electric heat-pump water heaters (HPWHs) could reduce the energy costs, emissions, and power grid impacts associated with water heating, the second-largest energy use in United Sta…
