Abstract
Residential pool filtration pumps, together with the HVAC systems, represent the highest residential consumption loads. The efficiency of pool filtration pumps has been a recurring topic of study; however, the same cannot be said for the optimization of their operation. This study contributes to the scientific community by developing a specific control algorithm for filtration pumps, filling some gaps in the existing literature. The research addresses the energy flexibility of residential pool filtration pumps, introducing a rule-based control algorithm to reduce associated energy costs by utilizing surplus solar energy from a residential photovoltaic system. The results, collected from an illustrative case study, demonstrate significant reductions in pump operation costs (−46%) and total electricity bill (−18%). These results highlight the potential of the proposed algorithm to improve the operation of filtration pumps, contributing to increase the self-consumption of on-site generation and to reduce electricity costs.
