Demand Response Combined with On-site Generation and Clustered Building Demand Control
Reducing demand during peak electricity usage periods cannot be accomplished by simple tariff-driven demand cost methods.Electricity shortages are causing grid operators to offer financial inducements for demand reduction.Running generators during peak periods is only part of the opportunity.Almost all buildings offer the ability to reduce peak demand by selectively controlling building loads.It is also possible to combine on-site electrical generation with building demand control in response to a grid overload without a noticeable reduction in the building environment.This paper describes a method of analyzing building electrical interval meter data for predicting building peak demand and combining this information with control algorithms managed at each building and coordinated by a managing server somewhere on the Internet.This technique can,in most instances,double the demand reduction during peak periods without sacrificing environmental conditions.Further,buildings can coordinate demand activity while executing grid operator demand reduction requests on a wide-area basis.Grid operators need only forward demand reduction kW to a central server coordinating the building cluster without the need for minute by minute signally to individual buildings.Fully automated cluster-based building demand control offers a significant advantage over master-slave systems that stress the communications network.This type of control can be installed as an add-on product as well as embedded in virtually as all building automation systems at minimal cost.
