Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• A framework integrating operative temperature control with optimized setpoint transitions reduces peak loads in grid-interactive buildings is presented • Methodology is validated through field demonstration in an all-electric school classroom during cold Québec winter conditions. • Optimized temperature setpoint ramps fully eliminated on-peak heating demand and reduced rebound power by 60% compared to conventional step changes. • Energy cost savings of 86% are achieved under time-of-use pricing without compromising indoor comfort.
