Model of room storage heater and system identification using neural networks

This paper presents two approaches used to develop a model of Room Storage Heater. The first one consists of a dynamic model of the RSH developed by the authors using the results obtained from tests performed in a calorimetric chamber. The model was verified against the results obtained during five different charge-discharge test periods. The second approach is a new concept based on Neural Networks applications. In this approach, we suppose that we do not have a description of the RSH itself.
