AIR CONDITIONING LOAD CONTROL BASED ON THE NETWORK COST AND ELECTRICITY MARKET PRICE UNDER DEMAND SIDE RESPONSE MODEL

摘要

Air conditioning (AC) is faced with a big problem to supply electricity demand and increased electricity prices to the consumer. This paper presents a new model development of demand side response (DSR) to assist small consumers particularly to optimize energy costs. The innovation of this paper is to assist small consumers to minimize energy costs. In this simulation, the consumer should undertake a pre-cooling mechanism to minimize the energy costs by anticipating the expensive cost. This model is applicable for residential homes in Makassar, South Sulawesi Indonesia. The results indicated the potential benefit of DSR to achieve energy saving for both consumers and aggregators.
