Abstract

Peak load management is very important for the electric power system. This paper analyzes the impact of residential swimming pool pumps (RSPPs) on the peak load. First, this paper analyzes the challenges of non-intrusive energy consumption estimation for SPPs. Second, a novel reference-based change-point (RCP) model is proposed for non-intrusive SPPs energy consumption estimation. The advantages of the proposed RCP model are that it does not require high sampling rate data or prior information of the appliance. We show that during pool season, under the assumption that the ratio of base loads (defined as the power consumption which is independent of the outdoor temperature) of houses with and with PPs remains the same during no-pool season and pool season, 6.3% of the total energy is consumed by PPs, while under the assumption that for houses with and without PPs, the ratio of base loads is equal to the ratio of the temperature-dependent power consumption during pool season, 9.08% of the total energy is consumed by PPs. Furthermore, we show that by shifting PPs activity period, under the first assumption, at least 1.27% of peak demand can be reduced, while under the second assumption, at least 4.53% of peak demand can be reduced.
