- This work investigates the potential for electrical demand response by a commercial building, for distribution network support purposes. Using empirical data, we quantify the magnitude but also importantly the persistence of all deferrable loads across a full annual cycle. We provide clear evidence that the building can offer demand response suitable for a range of ancillary services for the distribution network, whilst maintaining human comfort conditions internally. The work was funded by the EPSRC Building as A Power Plant (EP/P034241/1), and led to successful follow-on work as part of the £36m Active Building Centre (EP/S016627/1).
