Description

The cloud‐based smart dual fuel switching system (SDFSS) project is a dual‐fuel integrated hybrid heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in residential homes. The SDFSS was developed to enable optimized, flexible, and cost‐effective switching between the natural gas furnace and electric air source heat pump (ASHP). 

Applications

Optimizing fuel switching for Canadian residential houses; planning simultaneous Reduction of Energy Cost and Greenhouse Gas Emission with Smart Grid Infrastructure

Key Inputs

location specific ambient temperature, GHG emissions from the consumption of the natural gas, hour of the day, electricity pricing, natural gas pricing, electricity consumption from the hvac equipment, data from the natural gas furnace

Key Outputs

reduction of cost from the heating, reduction of GHG Emissions
