With a wealth of experience in energy storage (battery), solar panels (HIT), smart metering and heat pump technology, Panasonic is ideally placed to bring all these technologies together to provide a very real solution to the problem of sustainable electricity supply. Panasonic is working with the E.ON Energy Research Centre at RWTH Aachen University to test the performance of this new concept. RWTH Aachen has achieved global recognition in several fields of engineering and science, such as mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, computer science, physics and chemistry, and is considered as one of the best German university in these fields.
- Performance-testing at the University of Aachen: Panasonic’s Smart Heat Pump System features a new algorithm to manage power supply for the home’s energy management system Extremely energy efficient heat pump for heating, cooling and hot water supply
- Extremely energy efficient heat pump for heating, cooling and hot water supply
- Designed to work intelligently with smart grids
If a significant number of households take advantage of this type of technology and install an intelligent solution such as Panasonic’s Smart Heat Pump – taking energy only from the national power supply grid during low peak times, an efficient and intelligent use of energy – more old-style, fossil-fuelled power plants could be decommissioned, improving the planet’s atmosphere and significantly reducing carbon emissions.
