The Effect of Controlling Residential Air-Conditioner on the Reduction of Peak Demand in Summer Considering the Comfort of Users

Abstract

In the conventional electric power system, utilities must supply required electricity to consumers for maintaining power demand and supply. Keeping the demand and supply balance by this way will become very difficult when renewable energy resources are introduced in bulk. To realize more efficient system, consumers must cooperate with suppliers. In this paper, the demand of air-conditioning in house is focused as demand which can be controlled. First, accuracy of CADIEE which we use in this report as thermal load calculation soft is confirmed. Using this simulation soft, simulations are carried out to analyze changes of indoor environment by controlling air-conditioner and benefit to demand and supply balance.
