The electrification of heating through heat pumps will add a significant load to the Dutch distribution grid. Luckily, the heat pump can provide flexibility to make its inclusion in the grid a little bit easier. However, the flexibility of a heat pump is dependent on many factors and can therefore be quite complex. During this presentation we will look at how to unlock the flexibility that heat pumps can offer to the low voltage grid. Together with Dutch heat pump manufacturer Itho Daalderop we implemented the S2 protocol (EN 50491-12-2) on their Vincent heat pump. This talk will provide an overview of the lessons learned we encountered.
