Abstract

Aufgrund der hohen Anzahl einzelner Geräte, die in einem Ortsnetz an der Gesamtoptimierung beteiligt sind, wurde in diesem Buch, genauso, wie im Projekt itsowl-EMWaTro auf einen Hardward-Prüfstandsaufbau verzichtet. Für die Ergebnisse ist es irrelevant ob die Optimierungsalgorithmen auf einem verteilten System berechnet werden oder ob derselbe Code auf einem einzigen Rechner ausgeführt wird. In diesem Kapitel wird zunächst das in MATLAB oder Octave erstellte Simulationssystem erklärt. Danach werden zunächst die Simulationsergebnisse für die Lastverläufe verschiedener Ausstattungsszenarien und die damit erzielbaren Kostenersparnisse, sowie die problematische Lastspitzenbildung präsentiert. Nach einer Abwägung des Rechenaufwandes in Abhängigkeit von Optimierungskomplexität und Ergebnisqualität wird die stochastische Streuung der Zusatzkosten durch die Lastspitzenvermeidung untersucht.

Demand side management (DSM) has been discussed and investigated widely as a strategy to also influence residential energy consumption. Flexible energy tariffs are often proposed as a possible tool of DSM. However, real-life experience with this tool is rare. It was therefore the objective of this study to investigate under more realistic conditions how consumers are able and willing to adjust their residential energy consumption under the conditions of flexible energy tariffs with and without the support of intelligent smart appliances. Sixty-seven households in Germany within an experimental design with fictive tariff model (August 11 to July 12) driven by RWE Effizienz GmbH, as the energy utility, and Miele & Cie.KG, as the appliance manufacturer, were equipped with intelligent smart meters and 41 of them also with smart appliances (washing-machine and tumble-dryer). As a first part of the experiment, the energy tariff changed per hour and day by day, depending on the forecast of the availability of renewable energy in Germany between 10 €-Cent and 40 €-Cent per kWh. Consumers could respond to this change by adjusting the operation of their energyconsuming appliances either by themselves or—with the smart appliances—by a programmed start at low tariffs. The behaviour of the 41 consumers with smart appliances and their motivation are intensively investigated and analysed during this running two year project including several questionnaires. The consumers had to fill out daily a diary about the usage of their washing-machine, tumble-dryer, dishwasher and ironing devices. These data were matched with the actual tariff. This did allow identifying if and to which extend the consumers adjust their household activities depending on availability of solar and wind energy. These data were also used to calculate the cost savings by using the flexible tariff. In comparison to the costs of the fixed tariff of 25 €-Cent per kWh savings of 25% were realised on average. The results of a first phase already show that flexible tariffs are able to influence the operation of household appliances towards a flexible demand.

The average economic agent is often used to model the dynamics of simple markets, based on the assumption that the dynamics of many agents can be averaged over in time and space. A popular idea that is based on this seemingly intuitive notion is to dampen electric power fluctuations from fluctuating sources (as e.g. wind or solar) via a market mechanism, namely by variable power prices that adapt demand to supply. The standard model of an average economic agent predicts that fluctuations are reduced by such an adaptive pricing mechanism. However, the underlying assumption that the actions of all agents average out on the time axis is not always true in a market of many agents. We numerically study an econophysics agent model of an adaptive power market that does not assume averaging a priori. We find that when agents are exposed to source noise via correlated price fluctuations (as adaptive pricing schemes suggest), the market may amplify those fluctuations. In particular, small price changes may translate to large load fluctuations through catastrophic consumer synchronization. As a result, an adaptive power market may cause the opposite effect than intended: Power fluctuations are not dampened but amplified instead.
