6. 5. Demand Side FLexibility and Bidding Strategies for Flexible Loads in Air-Conditioned Buildings

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Christian Utama; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Demand-side flexibility (DSF) has been touted as a possible solution to thechallenges in power system operation arising as a result of the increasing intermittent renewables penetration and the emergence of electric vehicles (EVs). In Singapore, where around 24 to 60% of electricity demand in buildings couldbe attributed to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) purposes, air-conditioned building present a potentially major flexibility resource which could be used to provide DSF and help accommodate these challenges.
