Optimization and operation strategy for demand response in Park Energy Systems with Public Buildings
Abstract Public-building central air conditioning (CAC) systems provide substantial load flexibility because of their significant thermal inertia. However, existing optimization studies of park energy systems commonly represent them as conventional flexible loads, with insufficient consideration of zonal differences and occupant thermal comfort. This paper proposes a coordinated optimization method for CAC systems participating in park-level demand response. First, an aggregated demand response model is developed b …
