Description
Summary:Demand side management (DSM) is a means to improve the energy efficiency, reduce the greenhouse gas emission, the consumers’ cost and the power grid investments. Due to the energy shortage and environmental problems, DSM has received more attention in recent decades. In this thesis, a micro grid consisted of 100 fridges is constructed to simulate the approach of DSM. The thermodynamic model of refrigeration system is simulated. Three schedulers are designed, implemented and programmed to execute the load switching based on the power curves. Simulations are carried out on Matlab. Results are analyzed and discussed based on the overall power consumption, average power and temperature.
