“…In buildings, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems are the preferable systems to provide ancillary services because they naturally interconnect electrical energy and thermal energy systems and, at the same time, buildings inherently have thermal energy storage capacities. In recent years, many efforts have been paid on studying the use of HVAC systems in non-residential buildings for providing ancillary services [9,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] while very few studies can be found on residential buildings [38,39]. Different components in HVAC systems are tested for various types of ancillary services.…”

“…• Reducing operational costs and emissions by increasing utilization of RE sources [16]. Note that reducing operating costs in turn leads to a greater return on investment which would incentivize expansion of the RE industry; • Reducing operational costs and emissions caused by traditional generators installed to provide spinning reserve for RE [17]; • Relieving stress from transmission and distribution infrastructure by coordinating loads close to RE sources [17]; • Reducing utility operating costs through advanced metering infrastructure installed to enable DR [18].…”

-Electric power industry is undergoing a profound change. The change is driven by technical, economic and environmental factors. The emerging challenges are particularly significant for distribution grids, where the level of automation or "smartness" is relatively low. With the push for energy conservation, demand-side management (DSM) and demand response (DR) are becoming vital tools under the smart grid paradigm. This paper outlines some experience obtained at the University of Tasmania, Australia in developing DSM and DR systems.

“…In contrast to diesel generation, RE generation is stochastic, unable to supply a power system without the support scheduled generation [8]. In response, communities are increasingly pairing RE with their existing diesel generation, creating hybrid diesel architectures.…”

One-quarter of the world's population lives without access to electricity. Unfortunately, the generation technology most commonly employed to advance rural electrification, diesel generation, carries considerable commercial and ecological risks. One approach used to address both the cost and pollution of diesel generation is renewable energy (RE) integration. However, to successfully integrate RE, both the stochastic nature of the RE resource and the operating characteristics of diesel generation require careful consideration. Typically, diesel generation is configured to run heavily loaded, achieving peak efficiencies within 70-80% of rated capacity. Diesel generation is also commonly sized to peak demand. These characteristics serve to constrain the possible RE penetration. While energy storage can relieve the constraint, this adds cost and complexity to the system. This paper identifies an alternative approach, redefining the low load capability of diesel generation. Low load diesel (LLD) allows a diesel engine to operate across its full capacity in support of improved RE utilization. LLD uses existing diesel assets, resulting in a reduced-cost, low-complexity substitute. This paper presents an economic analysis of LLD, with results compared to conventional energy storage applications. The results identify a novel pathway for consumers to transition from low to medium levels of RE penetration, without additional cost or system complexity.
