Development of an assessment methodology of energy resilience of communities: Configuration of daily demand response potential for different types of buildings

摘要

Energy is consumed within any architectures such as the offices, factories or houses to support all kinds of human activities but it also comes with plenty of problems and issues, for examples, the depletion of energy sources, power outages and the pollution caused by the energy production. The implementation of smart grid has been known as a latest attempt to solve various energyrelated problems. The concept of a smart grid advocates the use of renewable energy and demand-side management that the energy generation has started to shift from centralized generation to distributed generation, and demand-side users are expected to participate in daily operation of electric energy supply and demand more often than ever. However, new solutions come together with new issues. Research and development in many areas are needed to ensure that a smart grid is designed, implemented and operated in the correct way. However, it has been a growing issue that most of these research-anddevelopment works are usually done in ad hoc or one-sided manner that the supply side and demand side of a power system are carrying out their studies focusing on their own interests only. Besides the insufficient collaboration between the supply and demand sides, both sides have been receiving challenges and impacts from many internal and external disturbances in maintaining daily balancing operation of power generation and consumption.
