Intelligent Cooling Management System Responding to Automated Demand Response

摘要

Demand response(DR) is to maintain the balance of supply and demand by instructing load reduction in preparation for power supply shortage. With the development of IoT, the range of customers participating in DR is being expanded from large buildings to small buildings. This paper proposes the intelligent cooling management system responding to automated demand response which automatically control the air conditioner in response to DR. We constructed an experimental test bed and performed measurements in terms of power saving and user satisfaction. According to the performance evaluation results, the proposed system reduces power usage by 16.49% than usual, and makes 99.84% of households keep DR participation, that is most of the households is satisfied with the proposed system.
