Adaptive hot water production based on Supervised Learning

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari

A major challenge in the common approach of hot water generation in residential houses lies in the highly stochastic nature of domestic hot water (DHW) demand. Learning hot water use behavior enables water heating systems to continuously adapt to the stoch ...
