Analysis of Adjustable Potential of Hotel Air Conditioning Load based on Limited Data

Air conditioning load is the most important flexible resource for hotel building to participate in power grid supply and demand interaction. This paper proposes a method to evaluate the adjustable potential of air conditioning based on the total load data of hotel users and the air conditioning load data monitored separately during the peak hours of summer electricity consumption. First, electricity load characteristics is analyzed, and the correlation between air conditioning load and total load is obtained. Second, the hierarchical clustering method is applied to extract typical electricity consumption patterns. Finally, based on load clustering and load forecasting results, the adjustable potential of hotel air conditioning system is calculated, which provides a method for adjustable potential evaluation under limited data.
