Accurate single customer models are vital to the development of aggregate dynamic load models which can predict response to direct load control actions. Without such aggregate models, optimal scheduling of direct load control actions in a manner which accounts for constraints upon customer comfort is not possible. A dynamic model of the response of a single residential air conditioner load to weather conditions is developed. The model's performance is evaluated using data obtained from the Athens Automation and Control Experiment (AACE), in Athens, Tennessee, and some novel approaches to the determination of the parameters of a customer's thermal envelope model are discussed. The model is used to make a preliminary assessment of the effect of the level of detail upon model accuracy. For the limited number of customers with suitable data and survey information who were available in the experiment, the variability of parameters and responses is assessed.
