Development of Group Control Method of Heat Pump Water Heaters for PV Generation and Consumption in Local Area

Evaluation of potential for peak demand reduction of residential buildings by household appliances with demand response

“…The spread of DR is advancing in industrial and commercial sectors where power demand per consumer is high, 1,2 but in the recent years, many a research on DR has been also conducted in residential sector that accounts for 28% of power consumption. 3 The goals of implementing DR in households are to secure regulation reserve to deal with uncertainties in power supply caused by penetration of renewable energies, [4][5][6][7] to reduce peaks of aggregated electricity demand in residential buildings and compounds, etc. Particularly, regarding the peak reduction, one can expect a cost-cut effect due to reduction of contract amperage in each household, reduction of power receiving equipment capacity in high-voltage power receiving con-dominiums, reduction of pole transformer capacity in distribution systems, etc.…”
