Intelligent hot water heating system with stratified temperature-heating control storage tank

A hot water heating system, comprising:

• at least one water heater with at least one water heater inlet and at least one outlet configured to use at least one electronically controlled energy source to heat water;
• said system further comprising a system controller and a plurality of sensors;
• at least one heating-control storage tank with at least one heating-control storage tank inlet, and
• said water heater and said heating-control storage tank connected to a cold-water supply, with electronically actuated valves, controlled by said system controller, directly controlling flow of cold water into both said at least one water heater inlet and said at least one heating-control storage tank inlet of said heating-control storage tank;
• said water heater and said heating-control storage tank configured so that at least thermal energy can be transferred between said water heater and said heating-control storage tank;
• said water heater and said heating-control storage tank further coupled with suitable pipes and electronically actuated valves to a hot water supply pipe so that hot water can be directly supplied by any of at least one water heater tank outlet or at least one heating-control storage tank outlet;
• said system controller configured to control at least said electronically actuated valves so as to supply hot water according to user needs while minimizing energy costs associated with said at least one electronically controlled energy source.
