Method to Determine Control of Energy Saving by Using Explanatory Variables for Demand Response

Abstract

Demand response (DR) with the aim of stabilizing power supply and the cost of electricity has garnered a considerable amount of research interest in recent years. It is expected to be particularly useful for small- and medium-sized office buildings, which are responsible for a large share of total electricity consumption. In this paper, we propose implementing DR for small- and medium-sized office buildings by using an energy-saving control decision method that employs explanatory variables from prediction equations.
