Abstract
Field tests of demand response (DR) power model, the policy controlling electric power demand using flexibility change power rates, are being conducted in many cities as the solution of tight energy supply-demand balance and installation into distributed energy system. This study aims to discuss of the relation of power rates and residential behavior with questionnaires, and to estimate energy consumption change on summer with time schedule model targeting the Nagoya metropolitan area (within 20km of CBD). The results indicate that 1) high power rates promote residential going out, 2) DR promote not only residential energy saving behavior in the short-term, but also replacement to high energy efficiency facilities in the long-term, 3) the mainly effects of DR are reduction of energy consumption in peak time, 4) in inner city where many singles live, the effects of DR may be smaller than the result of field tests.
