Title: Demand-side response for grid-independent islands based on flexible energy management using heat pumps

Authors: James Freeman, Christopher Olkis

Abstract: Large-scale deployment of local renewable energy sources (RES), coupled with demand-side response (DSR), is viewed as a critical strategy for improved energy security on geographic islands. REACT is a 4-year European project to address the challenges associated with DSR from the perspective of geographic islands with limited electrical grid access. This simulation case study focuses on the island of
Inishmore, western Ireland, under a future increased-renewables scenario in which the heating demand
for 65% of the island’s 300 dwellings is provided by air-to-water heat pumps.
