사무소 건물의 조광제어를 통한 수요관리자원 발굴 및 전력시장에서의 활용방안에 관한 연구

본 논문에서는 새로운 수요관리 자원으로 대두되고 있는 조광제어의 잠재량과 가치평가, 활용방안을 제시하고자 한다. 현재 전력IT 기술이 발전하고 있으며, 이는 수요관리 분야에도 많은 기회를 제공하고 있다. 특히 조광제어는 실시간 요금이 변하는 전력시장에서 전력IT 기술을 통해 그 가치를 드러내고 있다. 또한 본 논문에서는 조광자원이 변화하고 있는 전력산업 환경에서, 효율향상뿐 아니라 부하관리 측면에서도 매우 효과적인 수요자원임을 검증코자 한다.

Energy performance of daylight-linked automatic lighting control systems in large atrium spaces: report on two field-monitored case studies

This paper presents the field-measured energy performance of two common types of daylight-linked lighting control systems, continuous dimming and automatic on/off installed in two existing large atrium spaces located in Canada. The daylighting performance was evaluated based on the daylight contribution to the indoor illuminance and the amount of electrical lighting displaced by daylighting via the daylight-linked lighting control systems. Measured daylighting contribution to the space indicates that significant lighting energy savings can be achieved in atrium spaces if the daylight-linked lighting control system is appropriately selected, installed and commissioned throughout its existence. Results extrapolated from measurements collected during summer and winter indicate that as installed, the continuous dimming lighting control system provides 46% annual savings in electrical lighting consumption, while the automatic on/off saves between 11and 17% in lighting energy. These savings account for 68% of the lighting energy consumed during main occupancy for the continuous dimming system, and 31.5% for the automatic on/off. Operation irregularities such as a reduced dimming linearity and an incorrect adjustment of the phases of the dimming control system, as well as the inadequate location of the photocell controlling the automatic on/off lighting system, the improper maintenance of the skylight during winter and the oversizing of the lighting system reduced the energy efficiency of the lighting control systems by 30–65%.

Daylighting design for the Pacific Museum of flight: Energy impacts

The daylighting performance of the Pacific Museum of Flight in Seathle, WA, has been analyzed using the DOE-2.1C building energy simulation program. The main exhibit areas of this museum are enclosed on three sides by glass walls and the 4500-m 2 roof is completely glazed. Because of the large glass areas, a detailed thermal simulation of the building was carried out during its design phase in order to select glazing parameters that would avoid excessive summer solar heat gain, reduce winter heat loss and, at the same time, provide enough natural light of significantly reduce electric lighting loads. Glazing choices considered included conventional glass, heat mirror, and glass with a low-emissivity coating. On/off, stepped and continuous dimming lighting control systems were analyzed. Daylighting was found to be very effective in reducing annual electric lighting load, peak electrical demand, and the overall annual energy consumption.
