Decentralized Direct Electric Heating¤

Introduction¤

Direct electric heating refers to resistance heaters with fan assisted air circulation with a electric to thermal efficiency of 1. However, it is important to focus on the complete chain from the primary energy to the final one, considering all conversion devices in-between. For instance, if this electricity has been produced with a CCGT the efficiency will drop to 60%.
