Abstract
This paper proposes how using electric storage heaters could provide a portion of the system
reserve requirements which would otherwise have to be satisfied by conventional generation. With the
upgrade and install of new advanced electrical storage heaters there is the potential to provide large system
reserve capabilities when combined with a high-speed communications network. Together with these new
more efficient heaters, not only will domestic emissions be reduced, the overall electrical grid CO2 intensity
should experience an improvement due to the incorporation of the demand side management (DSM) aspect.
The All-Ireland system has been used in this paper as an example of an electrical network which is
undergoing a significant transition to high penetrations of renewables, while having a considerable
population of potentially upgradeable electric heating sources for DSM control.
