Anticipated Solutions to Reduce Electricity Demand during Peak Period

Researchers and practitioners have proposed a variety of solutions to reduce electricity consumptionand curtail peak demand. This research focuses on electricity demand control by applying somestrategies in existing building to reduce it during the extreme climate period.The first part of this paper presents the objectives of the study: The optimization problem in thisresearch is multi-objective in the sense that we aim to reduce building electrcicity demand whilemaintaining an acceptable level of comfort.The second part presents the approach used to rise the objectives : To aggregat the individual loadsand to analyze the impact of different strategies from load shedding to reduce peak power demand by: Developing models of tertiary buildings stocks (Schools, offices, Shops, hotels); Making simulations for different load shedding strategies to calculate potential peak power saving.The third part is dedicated to the description of the developed models: An assembly of the variousblocks of the library of simbad and simulink permit to model building.Finally the last part prensents the study results.
