Abstract:
Load flexibility and Demand Response are becoming increasingly important to balance the electricity supply and demand. Ventilation systems can be used as flexible loads in an electric power system. A number of studies in the field of load flexibility deal with ventilation system control in reference to measured temperature. However, inadequate attention is paid to the effect of using ventilation shutdown for providing load flexibility to pollutant concentration. This paper presents a ventilation shutdown period estimation according to indoor air quality (IAQ) for different space sizes and numbers of occupants. This study shows how long the ventilation system can be shut down before a pollutant concentration or temperature reaches its boundary considering the average level as an initial condition. Simulations were carried out to demonstrate an application of ventilation system 2-point control and to verify that this will not jeopardize the IAQ for normal conditions.
