≈ 39000 MW
Residential space Heating (≈ 11000 MW)
Domestic hot water (≈ 2000 MW)
SUMMARY
7
Space heating and DHW for residential buildings in Québec: • ≈ 1/4 of the total annual electric energy
consumption • ≈ 1/3 of the power demand at peak conditions
Great potential for power and energy savings using thermal energy storage
ELECTRIC HOT WATER TANKS
8
Typical Québec family: -Daily water consumption: ≈ 250 liters/day -Daily energy consumption: ≈ 15 kWh -Annual energy consumption: ≈ 5000 kWh
ELECTRIC HOT WATER TANKS

ELECTRIC HOT WATER TANKS
10
Ideal for load shifting [5]
HIGH TEMPERATURE COMPACT STORAGE
Ceramic bricks at 500°C
Electric heating elements

Measured data at the Price building in Quebec city [6]
SEASONAL THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE

Space heating needs and solar availability are not in sync
SEASONAL THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE
14
The best example is in Canada !

SUMMARY
18
• Buildings use a substantial amount of energy. • Buildings in Québec require a significant
amount of power at peak conditions.
• Solutions exists to reduce the energy/power impact of buildings:
Electric hot water tanks Compact high temperature storage Seasonal storage in boreholes
