Electric Water Heater Model
Many models of different types of EWHs have been introduced in the literature.
The objectives of these models differ from one to another. For example, the Water Heater
Analysis Model (WHAM) was designed to calculate the energy consumption per day
[33]. Other models were designed to obtain the EWH demand in order to control it by
means of DSM [34-36].
The EWH model discussed in this work was conceived to obtain the EWH
electric power demand. It is based on the energy flow in the EWH. In general, the electric
