As renewables make electricity more variable, new ways are needed to keep electricity supply and demand in balance. This thesis demonstrates how ordinary water heaters can act as flexible energy resources, helping stabilize the grid while ensuring hot water for users. It develops and tests control and market-integration methods that make this vision practical at large scale.
