Demand Response Across the Continental US for 2006

This project estimates hourly demand response availability across the continental U.S. for the year 2006. The resulting data set is disaggregated by balancing authority area, end use, and grid application. End uses include 14 categories across residential, commercial, industrial and municipal sectors. Grid applications include the 5 bulk power system services of regulation reserve, flexibility (or ramping) reserve, contingency reserve, energy, and capacity. Based on the physical requirements of the various bulk power system services and the estimated end use electric load shapes, potential availability of demand response is calculated and provided as a series of csv files.

本项目估算了2006年美国大陆地区逐小时的需求响应（demand response）可用量。生成的数据集按平衡管理区域（balancing authority area）、终端用途（end use）及电网应用场景（grid application）进行细分。终端用途涵盖住宅、商业、工业及市政四大领域的14个类别。电网应用场景包含大容量电力系统的5项服务，即调节备用、灵活性（或爬坡）备用、事故备用、能量及容量服务。基于各类大容量电力系统服务的物理需求及估算的终端用途电力负荷曲线，本项目计算出需求响应的潜在可用量，并以一系列CSV文件的形式提供。
