DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jörg Petrasch\, Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences
 \, Austria\nBio : Jörg Petrasch received his M.S. and PhD in Mechanical a
 nd Process Engineering from ETH Zurich. His doctoral thesis on solar therm
 al reforming of methan\, focusing on reactive flows in porous catalytic st
 ructures was carried out under the guidance of Prof. Aldo Steinfeld. He ha
 s worked as a numerical analyst and consulting engineer for the chemical\,
  construction\, and energy industry\, contributing to a range of projects 
 including the Gotthard Basistunnel and NAGRA\, the Swiss Society for the D
 isposal of Nuclear Waste. In 2009 he joint the faculty of the University o
 f Florida as an Assistant Professor. There\, he helped to build a successf
 ul solar thermochemistry program culminating in a DOE ARPA-E award. Since 
 2012\, he works as illwerke vkw Professor for Energy Efficiency and direct
 or of the Energy Research Center at the Vorarlberg University of Applied S
 ciences\, Austria. Dr. Petrasch’s research interests are renewable energ
 y carriers\, dynamics of energy systems particularly demand side managemen
 t\, and multi-scale effects in energy systems.\nAbstract : Domestic hot wa
 ter heaters are studied as a means for price-driven active demand side man
 agement. Optimization is based on a dynamic thermal model of water heater 
 behavior. Model parameters are identified based on experimental data from 
 a 150 l\, 2.2 kW domestic hot water heater. Historic day ahead spot market
  prices from Austria’s EXXA energy exchange are used for carrying out th
 e optimization. Fully deterministic\, fully random and statistically reali
 stic user behaviors are assumed. The yearly cost savings for fully determi
 nistic behavior are 36.7 EUR compared to heaters without demand side manag
 ement (DSM) and 24.9 EUR compared to heaters with traditional utility indu
 ced DSM. The yearly cost savings for statistically realistic user behavior
  are dependent on side conditions between 28.6 and 35.5 EUR compared to he
 aters without DSM and between 15.6 and 23.6 EUR compared to heaters with t
 raditional utility induced DSM.
