Flexible electricity loads provided by buildings help to create a resilient and reliable power grid while making electricity cleaner and more affordable. However, there are limited public data sets with high resolution that can help researchers and industry to understand building load flexibility. This seminar introduces three on-going projects funded by the U.S. DOE seeking to develop publicly-available datasets that measure the performance of energy efficient building technologies and control systems to provide grid services, using three different hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test methods. The three HIL testbeds verify the building equipment’s load flexibility, while considering occupants’ interactions with the buildings.
