Residential demand response potential evaluation in Shandong Province

Abstract

Demand response can promote the stable operation of power system and reduce the operation costs. With the aid of demand response, we can reduce the peak load of power system, slow down power grid investment, and improve power system operation efficiency. Based on the investigation of load characteristics and demand response implementation status in Shandong province, this paper proposes a method to evaluate the demand response potential of residential air conditioning loads. In the case study, the demand response potential of residential air conditioning loads in the future is evaluated, which can clarify the scale and source of expected demand response resources in Shandong province.
