Abstract:

Buildings are important potential resources for electricity demand response (DR).But the features of the power grid including lack of demand response data, diversity of physical structures and building envelopes, and complexity of consumption behaviors and meteorological conditions make it difficult to accurately and quickly calculate the DR potential of buildings,hindering the development of the DR market. Most traditional potential quantification methods are applicable to a single building. They can hardly support the judgement on the market access conditions of diverse potential users, or select the qualified target users with a review on the reliability of the declared information. To solve the problems above, a data-driven method based on the quantification of buildings' DR potential is proposed. Firstly, the input and output variables are set by considering the factors influencing the building DR potential and the requirements for the declared information. Then, the tool chain called EnergyPlus-JEPlus-Eppy is used to generate a complete dataset, improving the model generalization. Finally, a data-driven modelling approach is used to develop a potential quantification model to achieve rapid quantification of DR potential. The effectiveness of the method is verified by a typical office building in Nanjing by choosing global temperature regulation as the peak-shaving means. The results of the case show that the proposed model can keep the mean squared error (MSE) of the predicted potential within 0.009 6 with a coefficient of determination(R2) higher than 0.9. The method enables accurate quantification on DR potential for different buildings in various scenarios.
