In this test site, the impact of LEC regulation will be investigated for a heterogeneous selection of electrically heated apartment buildings from a technological and socio-economic perspective, considered to be representative for Flanders.

​

Primary objectives of this site

​

• Improve energy efficiency of the heat pumps

• Introduce unit-, LEC-, and cross-LEC peak-shaving and self-consumption strategies

• Combine unit-, LEC-, and cross-LEC strategies with providing ancillary services to the transmission system operator

• Quantify the impact of residential electric heating system architecture and PV topology (decentral or communal area), and heating type (resistance or heatpump based) on the final electricty bill

• Quantify impact of household and community level tariff structures

• Test triggers for participation
