我國建立WABEMS計畫進行大型空調主機需量反應之全尺度實驗應用分析

Analysis and Full-Scale Experimental Investigation of Demand Response Strategy on WABEMS Taiwan

台灣地區夏季氣候高溫多濕，其龐大的空調負載，為造成國家電網夏季尖峰用電吃緊，供應不足的主因之一。在2017年夏季，整體電網的尖峰備載容量，只剩下1.64%。為了疏解此供電壓力，與其花費龐大的資本門投資，動輒10年以上之建廠時程，及民眾的環保抗爭，進行電力需量反應提供了另一個選項。經由有效地將大型空調系統同步卸載進行電力需量管制，可形成強有力的因應措施。本研究建立了1個大型的WABEMS 平台，進行了一系列的異地大型空調主機同步需量反應的實驗。實驗結果顯示，這些參與聯合需量反應的大型綜合醫院及大學校園等皆成功的自尖峰抑減了16%至 25%的 尖峰需量。於本文中詳細分析描述其成功的實驗結果。 未來，將自內政部建築研究所的BEEUP 計畫選取更多的案例，來加入這第二階段的 WABEMS 實驗。而本計劃所建立的這個技術交流以及聯合卸載模擬平台，未來將具備極大的發展潛力，形成用戶群代表Aggregator之角色，使我國之虛擬電廠與智慧電網之整合邁出一大步。

 

In the summer, the HVAC system in commercial buildings imposes heavy cooling load on the national power grid, causing power shortages. It is not uncommon that the power reserves can drop to a record low of 1.64 %, such as during the summer of 2017 due to the extremely hot summer in Taiwan. Instead of relying on constructing new power plants, the Demand Response (DR) Strategy which can curb the instantaneous power demand during the on-peak hours , especially by unloading the building HVAC systems, presents an effective and efficient solution to this problem. In this paper, a large-scale Wide-Area Building Energy Management System , or WABEMS, has been established to integrate various jobsites, which were several hundred kilometers apart from each other, to perform DR strategy together, for a full-scale experimental investigation. The experimental results from several general hospitals and university campuses, indicated that very significant power demand reduction, ranging from 16 % to 25 % reduction from their peaks, has been obtained and validated experimentally and has been analyzed in detail in this paper. More jobsites selected from the BEEUP program sponsored by the ABRI has been integrated into this DR phase 2 program. And the WABEMS platform established in this study has been upgraded into a Simulation and Technology Exchange Center, which warrants a full-fledged DR application platform, providing a vivid solution leading to the Virtual Power Plant concept in Taiwan.
