Analysis of Operation Times and Electrical Storage Dimensioning for Energy Consumption Shifting and Balancing in Residential Areas

摘要

According to a report by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2008 [1], 74% of the nation's electricity consumption occurs in buildings. This represents 39% of the total energy consumption among all sectors. There are two general approaches for energy consumption management in buildings: reducing consumption and shifting consumption [2]. The former can be done through raising awareness among subscribers for more careful consumption patterns as well as constructing more energy efficient buildings [3].
