An integrated system that provides for primarily off-peak electrical energy use and heat storage during the heating season, cooling storage during the cooling season, and hot water heating during both seasons was evaluated in this project. Results indicate that such a system is feasible and can be employed to shift electrical energy use from peak to off-peak periods. Further, this shifting of energy use can be done with whatever timing is desired year-round to assist with load-leveling for the utility. Results indicate potential for both residential and commercial applications. It is concluded that widespread use of such systems could lead to significant benefits for electrical power utilities and their customers.
