Data Driven Electricity Management for Residential Air Conditioning Systems: An Experimental Approach

Effective control of air conditioning systems (ACs) has the potential of significant electricity savings and demand response management for an entire power system. In this context, this paper demonstrates some key experimental results on controlling the electricity consumption of ACs. In particular, the degree to which energy can be throttled for energy management purposes without affecting the end user's comfort level is described. The testbed...
