Simulation of high-resolution domestic electricity demand based on a building occupancy model and its applicability to the study of demand side management

摘要: Alongside the well understood need to reduce overall electricity consumption, there is an increasing need provide demand response: ability time shift electrical in accordance with available low-carbon generation including wind, marine and solar power. Many domestic loads can readily be employed shifting response range of minutes hours and this concept already subject numerous demonstrations worldwide. The modelling presented in this paper provides a basis for quantification availability impact response in sector. In particular, describes development electricity demand model capable providing data with one-minute resolution which the operation may assessed. constructed at the level individual household appliances their usage based on surveyed time-use data. This provides appropriate temporal diversity energy use between simulated dwellings. Occupancy data allows correlated represented within actively occupied dwelling, as as representing sharing appliances, such lighting, dwellings multiple occupants. This summarises previously developed occupancy lighting models and explains how can extended create integrated appliance model.
