Research area
In his work, Tobias Brudermüller exploits smart meter data and contributes to the area of optimizing residential heat pumps in operation. Heat pumps play a crucial role in decarbonizing the building sector. However, many heat pumps suffer from a significant electricity uptake because they operate below the manufacturer's stated energy efficiency. A large number of installed systems has no network connectivity, and even latest models lack an interface for a unified service. Thus, high energetic and monetary optimization potential remains hidden and is lost. The large-scale roll-out of smart electricity meters constitutes a remedy in this respect. Utility companies already now collect large amounts of electricity consumption data on household-level. The research aims to increase heat pumps' efficiency in a scalable manner, which is a key factor for the decarbonization of the heating sector and the success of the energy transition.
