摘要:
A method of controlling a heating system includes: obtaining (S101), from a power supply source, information specifying an output modulation period during which power consumption by a heat pump unit is to be reduced; and controlling (S102, S103), based on the information obtained in the obtaining (S101), an amount of heat generated by the heat pump unit. In the controlling (S102, S103), the heat pump unit is caused to generate a first amount of heat per unit time in a period other than the output modulation period, and generate a second amount of heat per unit time during the output modulation period, the second amount of heat being less than the first amount of heat.
摘要:
A heating system includes: a heat generation unit (1) which generates heat using electricity supplied through a second power system of a lower electricity rate; a heat storage unit (2) which stores the heat generated by the heat generation unit; a heat radiation unit (3) which radiates the heat stored in the heat storage unit; and a control unit (8) which causes, when receiving, from a power supplier (4), a signal indicating that a supply of electricity through the second power system is to be stopped after an elapse of a predetermined period of time, the heat generation unit (1) to generate additional heat that is required while the supply of electricity through the second power system being suspended, during a period of time from when the signal is received to when the supply of electricity through the second power system is stopped.
