The Power Chapter WEBINAR: Benchmarking Demand Flexibility for Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings

January 30, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am

Building demand flexibility (DF) research has recently gained attention. To unlock building DF as a predictable grid resource, we must establish a quantitative understanding of the resource size, performance variability, and predictability based on large empirical datasets. The electrical grid’s geographically diverse and changing nature presents challenges to comparing building DF performance measured under different conditions (i.e., benchmarking DF). To address this challenge, a novel DF benchmarking framework focused on load shedding and shifting is presented; the foundation is a set of simple, proven single-event metrics with attributes describing event conditions. These enable benchmarking and identifying trends that represent how these attributes influence DF. To test its feasibility and scalability, the DF framework was applied to two case studies of 11 office buildings and 121 big-box retail buildings with demand response participation data. These examples provided a pathway for using both building level benchmarking and aggregation to extract insights into building DF about magnitude, consistency, and influential factors.

This webinar can draw more attention from energy audience to focus on the grid-interactive efficiency buildings and participate in the SBCS subcommittee and associated task forces. The presented work also provides cutting-edge research outcome for the community.
