Environmental Impacts on Energy Utilization of Smart Grid Consumers

摘要

Consumer life-style is directly affected by environment and their surrounding climate. The life-style in-turn affects the consumer energy utilization. Considering the climate drifts, weather and environment of a certain premises, an optimum demand and supply strategy can be derived. To develop such control strategy, a co-relation between the consumer load and weather parameters is required. Various weather parameters affecting the consumer demand needs to be addressed. This paper proposes a study of various environmental factors affecting the living standard of consumer and their energy demands accordingly. The co-relations are further discussed using Pearson, Spearman and Kendall models between the load and weather parameters. The results are compared with real-time Texas-State data for verification. The simulation results verify the climatic effect on energy utilization pattern for the consumers.
