Abstract:

In order to fully tap the regulation potential of flexible load, massive distributed load side resources are led to interacted with the power grid. Thus, the optimal allocation of resources and the improvement of energy utilization efficiency can be realized more economically, efficiently and safely, which is adaptive to the development of smart grid. According to the characteristics of air conditioning load and operation characteristics of electric vehicle and energy storage equipment, the focuses are laid on exploring the virtual energy storage capacity in air conditioning load and charging of electric vehicle. The modelling for virtual energy storage capacity is similar to the general energy storage equipment. Analysing the characteristics of virtual energy storage aggregation model by Monte Carlo simulation method, the available capacity participating in dispatching is obtained. Then, a unified margin control index is proposed to measure the dispatch priority of the three types of loads. Finally, taking the case including air conditioners and electric vehicles as the example, an adjustable capacity which can vary with the outdoor temperature and electric vehicle charging plan is obtained.

Key words: flexible load, demand response, virtual energy storage, direct load control, electric vehicle, air conditioning load
