“…Buber et al [6] assessed the potential of HP in Germany. They found high load shifting potentials and highlight that these are dependent on external temperature [6]. Moreover, HP DR potentials are constrained by building type and the building's thermal characteristics in terms of insulation and heat capacity [5].…”

“…The literature review revealed that several studies [4,5,6,7,8,9] identified vast potentials for utilising DR with HP. However, there is still a general need for quantification of costs and benefits of DR [10,11] and business cases for DR with HP should be investigated further [5].…”

“…Demand reduction by controlling demand-side resources could help to avoid the need for additional power plants to deal with peak load and contribute to supply power system flexibility. Various devices, such as electrical heat pumps and electric water heater with storage, are targets of demand reduction [1]. It is important to understand the potential effect of demand reduction for each type of device to evaluate the effect of demand response on the power system.…”

Demand response is expected to help maintain the supply and demand balance of the power system. In Japan, various demonstration projects have been carried out to evaluate the effect of demand reduction. Commercial air conditioners are a promising responsive load for demand response because they account for a large proportion of power consumption in the power system. In this study, we estimate the potential for system-wide demand reduction through controlling commercial air conditioners. Power consumption of air conditioner changes by the outdoor air temperature. The airconditioning power consumption model is established based on efficiency characteristics of air conditioner depending on outdoor temperature and load factor. A thermal load simulation is performed assuming demand response implementation in the model buildings and the potential demand reduction is estimated considering user comfort. Our results show that demand reduction through air conditioner control is a viable strategy.

“…Nevertheless, recently there are a few papers in the literature that gave the attention to this area. For instance, reference [9] determined the DR potential of electric water heater to cope with minimum generation situation, while the work in [10] quantified the load reduction potential of space heating systems. However, neither of the works provides a comprehensive estimation of DR potential of residential HVAC loads.…”

Domestic Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) loads are among the most flexible residential loads for possible demand response (DR) applications. This paper aims at assessing the DR potential of HVAC loads in smart grids considering users' temperature preferences. For doing so, at first, a mathematical formulation is developed to evaluate the flexibility of HVAC loads. The model, by adjusting the HVAC load, intends to either maximize or minimize electricity consumption during specific hours of a day while the user thermal comfort is intact. The proposed model is then applied to a medium massive structure house in Helsinki, Finland. The study is performed for different seasons and the associated DR potential is evaluated. The simulation results showcase the significant potential of HVAC loads in both consumption reduction and load increment. It is shown that the DR potential can be significantly affected by temperature dead-bands representing consumers' willingness to accept change in their comfort. It is also demonstrated that installing even a small thermal storage capacity may lead to a greater value-added DR potential.
