Cooling Load Profile and Strategy

Residential AC Testing in Sonora Project: Measure electricity use of ACs in households with good time resolution (~15 min) for entire cooling season (May-Oct) Goals: Understand whether residential AC explains late night peak Estimate of total residential summer use Understand coincidence with solar and other renewables Next Steps - Energy Savings and cost- benefit analysis of high-efficiency AC in ...Hot-Dry environment kWh GW 9 20 18 16 Load Profile Warm Balance Zones "Residential" Cooling Peak "Commercial" Cooling Peak 14 Lighting Peak 12 0.6 30 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 9 0 0 12:00 18:00 00:00 06:00 12:00 Tiempo - kWh-Temperatura grados centígrados BERKELEY LAR
