Buildings Stock Load Control
Abstract
Researchers and practitioners have proposed a variety of solutions to reduce electricity consumption and curtail peak demand. This research focuses on electricity demand control by applying some strategies in existing building to reduce it during the extreme climate period.
The first part of this paper presents the objectives of the study:
? to restrict the startup polluting manufacturing units (power station),
? to limit the environmental impacts (greenhouse emission),
? to reduce the transport and distribution electricity infrastructures
The second part presents the approach used to rise the objectives :
? To aggregat the individual loads and to analyze the impact of different strategies from load shedding to reduce peak power demand by:
? Developing models of tertiary buildings stocks (Schools, offices, Shops, hotels);
? Making simulations for different load shedding strategies to calculate potential peak power saving.
The third part is dedicated to the description of the developed models: An assembly of the various blocks of the library of simbad and simulink permit to model building.
Finally the last part prensents the study results: Graphs and tables to see the load shedding strategies impacts.
