Abstract

Analysis, modeling and development of residential demand response schemes are vital for the next generation active distribution systems. Among residential level deferrable loads thermally controllable loads have shown a great potential to be the candidates for increasing the flexibility of power distribution network. This paper evaluates the benefits of managing residential electric water heater set-points to reduce the overall cost of electricity in the presence of day-ahead forward price at distribution level. Three unique features, (i) consumer comfort by providing more hot water at the time of usage, (ii) reducing residential indoor temperature variations and (iii) reducing the health concerns due to water temperature regulations are addressed in this work. Randomly specified residential units, along with the thermal dynamics are used. ASHRAE standards are used in this work to ensure physical limitations are accurately represented. The results show that appropriately controlling the water heater temperature will be of great value to both utility and consumer demand response programs.

热水器管理对居民需求响应的效益评估:一个事件驱动的方法

住宅需求响应方案的分析、建模和开发对下一代有源配电系统至关重要。在住宅级可延迟负荷中，热可控负荷作为提高配电网灵活性的备选负荷显示出巨大的潜力。本文评估了在配电层面上存在日前电价的情况下，管理住宅电热水器设定点以降低总电力成本的效益。三个独特的特点，(i)在使用时提供更多的热水，使消费者感到舒适，(ii)减少住宅室内温度变化，(iii)减少由于水温规定而引起的健康问题，在这项工作中得到解决。随机指定的住宅单元，以及热动力学的使用。在这项工作中使用ASHRAE标准，以确保准确地表示物理限制。结果表明，合理控制热水器温度对电力公司和消费者需求响应方案都具有重要价值。
