Transactive Control Design for Commercial Buildings to Provide Demand Response
Transactive coordination and control is a new type of distributed strategy that is designed to engage various self-interested distributed energy resources such as controllable loads, distributed generators, and energy storage for providing demand response. In this paper, a novel transactive control design is proposed for commercial buildings to coordinate the electricity demand of the package rooftop air conditioning units (RTUs) for demand response. Such a coordination is realized by introducing a local relationship between the temperature setpoint and the market clearing price. With the proposed market-based control, the demand of individual RTUs is adjusted by changing their temperature setpoints as a response to the market clearing prices. Two dierent scenarios of demand response are considered herein. One is to limit the peak demand of commercial buildings, in which a new market clearing strategy based on proportionalintegral- derivative control with respect to the demand limit is proposed. The other one is to perform price responsive control, in which the total demand of commercial buildings will respond to the real-time pricing. The proposed transactive strategy is also tested and demonstrated on a real occupied building located at Pacic Northwest National Laboratory. The eld testing results conrm the eectiveness of the proposed transactive coordination and control for commercial building with RTUs to provide demand response.
