Demand response mechanism and simulation research of cold storage air conditioner supporting consumption of the onshore wind power

Heavy cooling load can lead to a load gap during the day and a peak-load regulation problem during the night in the area with onshore wind power installed. Fortunately, cold storage air conditioner (CSAC) can be used as a effective demand response resource to absorb onshore wind power. This paper establishes a mixed cold storage air conditioner demand response price incentive mechanism, in order to promote wind power storage by cold storage system at night, and a response evaluation model of CSAC, in order to effectively track the executive effect under different incentive mechanisms. The simulation of the coastal areas with prominent air-conditioning load in summer shows that when we implement price incentive mechanism on CSAC, system load and cost of peak load-regulation can effectively reduce, at the same time, wind power can obtain a good profit.
